This is How We Do It

Proactive Patrol Leads to Illegal Gun Seizure

This arrest is another example of the outstanding proactive work being done by our community intervention response teams.

Our CIRT officers are proactively in neighbourhoods across Peel Region, engaging with communities and taking action to enhance public safety.

In this case, an individual chose to break the law, attempted to flee, but we caught the suspect and seized a gun.

This is how we do it

And let this be clear: There are no excuses and no exceptions. We will remove illegal guns from our streets every chance we get and hold offenders fully accountable.
