A Toronto off-duty officer was shot on Saturday night after locating a suspect wanted on a Canada-wide warrant since 2022.
In a media scrum on Sunday, police say that the off-duty officer was in the King Street West and Bathurst Street area at around 11:30 p.m. when he recognized the accused. The officer then alerted on-duty officers, and approached the male suspect who proceeded to flee.

As a police officer – what's it like to take a bribe from organized crime?
Is it common? Do police ask for bribes, or do criminals offer them without solicitation?
For over a year my @torontopolice squad took bribes from the Chinese mob.
They paid four of us. The stakes were… pic.twitter.com/S7INAXHx9A

As detectives pored over the details of a “senseless” shooting in the parking lot of a Toronto school on June 2, they zeroed in on a young suspect.
Weeks after the shooting, Toronto police announced the arrest of a 14-year-old boy, charging him on June 24 with two counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder.
His arrest, the force’s chief says, is part of a growing and deeply worrying trend that has seen gun violence, particularly among young people, in Ontario’s capital city.
Sometimes I wonder if they just run the same story every 6 mos. or so. Nothing changes.

Police should in future always state the nationality of criminal suspects as a matter of principle, the interior minister of a German state has said.
Herbert Reul, interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, said the move would create a sense of transparency, but would also save the police time since their press offices are heavily involved in answering press enquiries over suspects’ nationalities.
“… In June, the RCMP laid charges against four men for illegal slaughter of animals. Seven halal grocery stores in Calgary were shut down. The slaughtering was done on rural properties in the counties of Mountain View, Rocky View and Wheatland.

The volume and severity of police-reported crime rose for the third consecutive year in 2023, with increased reporting of child pornography being the largest contributor, a new Statistics Canada report says.
Canada’s Crime Severity Index (CSI) increased by 2 percent in 2023, continuing an upward trend observed since 2015. The rise of the index, which assesses both the number and relative severity of crimes, was driven primarily by a 52 percent increase in reported rates of child pornography compared to 2022, according to StatCan’s July 25 report.

“I am satisfied that he is completely reformed,” Code wrote in his decision, which took effect on Oct. 24, 2023.
In court on Friday, Code ruefully revisited those words, finding that the 29-year-old Collins was most likely involved in a downtown Toronto armed robbery that took place just days after his sentence had started.
A joint-forces investigation has led to the largest seizure of illegal firearms in Peel Regional Police history a haul that saw 67 handguns, four assault rifles, 180 rounds of ammunition and more than $1 million in drugs taken off GTA streets.
The following are essential components of a racially fair Canada according to a pair of federally appointed brainstormers: dedicated Black courts and federal departments, racial “decarceration” targets … and, possibly, reparations for slavery.
These measures, numbering 114 in total, were recommended to the federal government by a steering group at the end of June to shape the Liberal government’s forthcoming Black Justice Strategy. It’s an initiative that will be sure to promote disorder and advance the well-being of a select few, if the guiding material is any indication.
Toronto police have arrested two men they say have been targeting Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) clients and allegedly stealing their funds.

… Two 18-year-olds, identified as Wadia Khaled of Toronto and Fadel Yazbak of Mississauga, were arrested and charged with robbery with an offensive weapon, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and disguise with intent.
They’re probably released and conducting another robbery as you read this.
