On Friday, December 18, 2015, officers from Toronto Police Service’s 41 Division and community members will come together in an informal space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee.

All community members are invited to attend. The event begins at 10 a.m. on Friday, December 18, 2015, at McDonald’s Restaurant located at 2480 Gerrard Street East.

Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the Service’s work in their community.

The majority of contacts police have with the public happens during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship-building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction.

The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between police officers and community members one cup of coffee at a time.

For more information, please contact Constable Mark McCabe at 416-808-4127 or at mark.mccabe@torontopolice.on.ca.

The Toronto Police Service recognizes the danger that drinking and driving poses to all road users and therefore is vigilant in our measures to recognize, intervene and deal effectively with those people who endanger us all.

On Friday, December 18, 2015, from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m., on Yonge Street, near Highway 401, the Toronto Police Service, in partnership with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Arrive Alive, Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), Petro Canada, and other sponsors of the R.I.D.E. checks will be on hand for a R.I.D.E. spot check. Chief Mark Saunders will attend the R.I.D.E. spot check from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m.

The Service will continue its efforts to protect you with multiple R.I.D.E. Programs and patrols targeting those who make the choice to drink and drive. The message is, and always will be, “If you drink, don’t drive.” We would like to remind everyone that choosing a responsible option to driving is the first step. Public transit, designated drivers, taxis and hotels are all excellent choices. It is also worth noting that walking while intoxicated is extremely dangerous. Many pedestrians have been seriously injured or killed from walking, stumbling or falling into traffic.

Some sobering statistics:

• Drinking and driving remains the number one criminal cause of death in Canada.
• In Ontario, approximately one-quarter of all road fatalities are alcohol related.
• Over 1,200 people in Toronto have been arrested for impaired driving related offences this year.

As a reminder, if you see someone who appears to be or you know is driving, or is about to drive impaired, call 911.
