"Abuse it and lose it," Accessible Parking Permit enforcement campaign, Monday, February 8, 2016 to Sunday, February 21, 2016

The Toronto Police Service is committed to assisting people with disabilities in the community.

On Monday, February 8, 2016, TPS Parking Enforcement will launch a heightened enforcement campaign entitled, "Abuse it and lose it." The campaign will focus on the enforcement of accessible parking spaces, the misuse of Accessible Parking Permits, and the detection and retention of counterfeit Accessible Parking Permits.

The campaign will run until Sunday February 21, 2016. Parking Enforcement Officers, members from Traffic Services and Divisional units will be assisting in this campaign. Areas of the city where significant problems have been identified for the misuse of accessible permits will be included in the directed patrols.

The City of Toronto grants many parking bylaw exemptions to holders of Accessible Parking Permits, in addition to providing designated on-street parking spaces for people with disabilities. The abuse of these exemptions deprives legitimate accessible permit holders from acquiring parking spaces that are safe and accommodating for their needs.

In 2015, TPS Parking Enforcement seized over 1,000 Accessible Parking Permits and charged over 900 people under the Highway Traffic Act for misuse.

Members of the media are welcome to participate in ride-alongs with members from Parking Enforcement engaged in this campaign. To arrange a ride-along, please call Brian Moniz at 416-808-1641.

Police would like to warn the public about growing concerns, due to mail theft, that have resulted in these types of identity theft investigations.

Police want to stress that theft of mail has become an issue within the Greater Toronto Area. The Beach area of the city is one of the targets of this type of fraud and it is imperative that the community is warned about these predators.

The items discovered in these types of labs can include the following:

- financial statements, bank documents and cheques stolen from the mail

- fake bank statements generated
- fake SIN cards
- fake government identification

Police want the public to be vigilant with their mail and to shred everything prior to disposal.

Identity theft has become the crime of today.
