I was glad to meet with the newly appointed York Regional Police (YRP) #5 District Superintendent Chirag Bhatt and Inspector Brad Weick to discuss several important community safety issues and address residents’ concerns, we discussed the following topics: Neighbourhood Watch program, Bail system concerns, Crime prevention strategies, High-tech scams awareness and the surveillance cameras at key intersections.
About YRP non-emergency hotline information For non-emergency situations, residents can reach YRP by calling *9675 for Bell users or #9675 for Rogers users. In case of an emergency, please dial 911.
Community safety is my top priority, and I will continue to support YRP and work closely with the Superintendent to enhance community safety.
