On Thursday, March 26, 2015, at 11 a.m., 52 Division’s Unit Commander Acting Superintendent Glenn Holt and Chinatown Business Improvement Area Chair Tony Yu will meet at the corner of Dundas Street West and Huron Street to announce the start of Project Blue Ram.

Acting Superintendent Holt will be speaking about the launch of Project Blue Ram, a seven-week project that began on Monday, March 23, 2015. The project is focusing on crime prevention, local disorder issues related to theft from autos, shoplifting, panhandling, public intoxication, drugs and any related problems.

Police are being proactive and directing additional patrols in the Chinatown area.

Similar projects have taken place over the past years in the downtown Chinatown area. Blue Ram will be very similar. Chinatown is a very safe neighbourhood. Officers will provide a heightened presence in the area and will be proactive by visiting local businesses and reviewing crime prevention strategies as well as utilizing Auxiliary Officers to educate residents and visitors to remind them to lock their car doors and not store valuables in their cars.

Spray-paint vandalism remains to be a main concern to the Chinatown BIA. Police will be working with the community and are encouraging residents, visitors and business owners who witness the act of spray-paint vandalism taking place, to immediately call police on the emergency 9-1-1 telephone line to report this or any other crime in progress. If you see suspicious activity or witness a crime please call police at 416-808-2222. All acts of spray-paint vandalism should be reported to police. Person(s) who willfully damage property commit the criminal act of Mischief and are subject to prosecution under the Criminal Code of Canada.

Other means of contacting the police: call 52 Division at 416-808-5200, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637), or Leave A Tip on Facebook.
