    Hi and Good Morning to Metro's Finest: I am writing to speak highly of four officers(I speak…read morehighly of all of you). I was assessed in a police cruiser last Tuesday for a period of 25 minutes. I was handcuffed in a "Mock" Arrest" by Officer Summers. It went went considering that I very poor sleep and, was not well. I was assessed by this lady officers' four work colleagues, and upon arriving at the station-I was then fingerprinted by a brunette lady officer who was in very good spirits along with her 3 work colleagues-I might add that they all treated me well considering that they were very tired from I am sure from an extreme long day and, most likely a very long day. I am very grateful the officers at the station that include Officer Terry Allen, whom took fingerprints upon my arrival. Great work officers!!. JP Preston.

    As a Black woman living in the City of Toronto, I have experienced firsthand the painful truth that…read moresystemic racism and anti-Black bias remain deeply embedded in our institutions -- especially within the Toronto Police Service. What happened to me on October 31st, 2025, is a reminder that even when Black people follow the law and seek help, we are too often criminalized instead of protected. That day, while returning home to 325 Bleecker Street, and I was physically assaulted by a white male tenant. I did not know his name at the time. He blocked my access to the elevator, and when I politely said "excuse me," he began swearing at me and then violently grabbed and shook my shoulders. I immediately called the police and filed a report (#25-2287454, 51 Division, Detective Turnbull). I informed the officers that the entire assault was captured on the building's security camera, yet no one followed up to view the footage. A full week passed without any police contact, a clear sign that my report was not taken seriously. My safety as a Black woman was disregarded. Then, on November 7th, I encountered the same man in the lobby of my building. Fearing for my safety, I called my daughter and asked for help. My sons came downstairs to escort me to my apartment while I sat in my mobility scooter. One of my sons reacted to the man who had previously assaulted me, and he called the police again. This time, the officers from 51 Division arrived and actually reviewed the security footage -- footage that clearly shows me seated in my scooter and not assaulting anyone. Yet, despite this evidence, the police viciously handcuffed me and charged me with assault, while the man who physically attacked me continues to face no accountability. The female arresting officer referred to me as a "gal," a term historically used to demean and dehumanize Black women during slavery. Her tone and conduct were humiliating and degrading. She went as far as instructing her partner to physically force me to sign release papers. Her behaviour made it painfully clear that some Toronto Police officers harbour deep contempt for Black people -- a reality that has been proven repeatedly but is continually ignored, dismissed, or minimized by both the media and the justice system. How many more Black lives must be ruined, violated, or taken before these injustices are acknowledged? How long will this city allow officers who clearly display anti-Black attitudes to continue policing our communities? I am a volunteer crisis responder who provides emotional support to people worldwide, yet this experience has left me emotionally scarred and seeking support myself. The trauma of being assaulted, dismissed, and racially dehumanized by those sworn to protect me is unbearable. We are not "gals." We are human beings. Our Blackness should not determine whether our lives, pain, or safety matter. It is time for Toronto to confront this truth -- and to finally deliver justice that includes and protects Black people.
