On the community safety side, we applaud the mayor’s announcement of a $48.3 million increase in the police budget

. For us, this means 20 more 9-1-1 operators to answer calls more quickly when an emergency occurs. It also means 25 more Priority Response Unit officers dedicated to the downtown core and boosting response times to emergency calls for service.Article contentMore broadly, the proposed budget boosts the capacity of Toronto Police’s well-received Neighbourhood Community Officer program, which will see 16 more NCOs hired and embedded in different city neighbourhoods.

For the TTC, routes in neighbourhoods that need it most will be prioritized, and 10 more Streets to Homes outreach workers will engage across the system to help vulnerable people on subways, buses and streetcars.
