In an effort to make the best use of police resources, a Lake Shore Boulevard foot patrol is replacing the 22 Division sub-station at the Toronto Police College, 70 Birmingham Street.

The sub-station will close on Friday, March 16, 2012, while the foot patrol begins on Monday March 19, 2012.

“This initiative brings the police back into the community rather than the community going to the police,” said 22 Division unit commander Superintendent James Ramer.

Statistical analysis demonstrated that the sub-station was not being used to its anticipated capacity. One full-time officer, working 220 days, completed 111 occurrences during the year.

The foot patrol will see two officers walk the beat on Lake Shore Boulevard West, from the Etobicoke Creek to the Humber River. The Toronto Police College and 22 Division draw 250 to 300 officers to south Etobicoke on a daily basis.

The foot patrol and sub-station closure were planned with community consultation. Police met with residents, the business community and local City Councillor Mark Grimes.

"I've met with both Superintendent Ramer and the local Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) and everyone agrees this is a smart decision. We've heard from the community that they would rather have a presence on Lake Shore, and this responds to that," Councillor Grimes said. "It lets the officers from 22 Division interact directly with local residents and businesses on a day-to-day basis and really respond to local issues."

For further comment, please contact Superintendent James Ramer at 416-808-7094 or Councillor Mark Grimes at 416-397-9273.
