Community Emergency - "A Day In The Life of A Metro Police Officer"

Original Air Date: February 27, 1988 on Scarboro Cable 10

Ride along with Metro Toronto Police Officer from 41 Division on a busy Saturday July 25, 1987 afternoon shift.

On January 1, 1957, policing in Toronto entered a new era with the creation of a Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. The new service was born from the roots of 13 separate services in the Toronto area.

Amalgamation eliminated the artificial policing boundaries across the now sprawling Metro Toronto. A single service also served to standardize police procedures and communications systems. The result was more effective and cost efficient policing.

The word “Force” was eventually replaced with the word “Service” to reflect our approach to policing. The name later changed to Toronto Police Service, when another municipal amalgamation formed the new City of Toronto in 1998.

Produced by Jeff Long and Greg Grimes.
