2018 Back to School Message

Toronto students are returning to school after the summer break and regular traffic volumes return to our roads.

All road-users need to consider the safety of our most vulnerable users: school children, pedestrians and cyclists. We all need to have the common goal of reaching our destinations safely each day.

Too often, speed, distracted, aggressive and impaired driving lead to collisions and injuries.

Parking violations around school zones cause frustration, congestion and an unsafe environment for students.

All of these actions are preventable and avoidable.

The Toronto Police Service and its many road-safety partners are asking motorists to consider these facts and to make road safety a priority.

TPS and the City of Toronto Update about the School Crossing Guard Program

The Toronto Police Service continues to implement its modernization plan to make sure the organization is where the public needs the Service the most so they can focus on the complex needs of Toronto and embrace partnerships to create safe communities. The City of Toronto and TPS are partnering on several recommendations contained in the Action Plan: The Way Forward including the plan to transition the School Crossing Guard Program to the City of Toronto, Transportation Services Division.

As part of this transition, starting this school year, TPS will no longer be providing uniform police officers to backfill for a School Crossing Guard who is not able to come to work. TPS and the City of Toronto have worked together to develop an alternative to backfill absent school crossing guards. Through a new contract with the City, Neptune Security Services will fill an important role in supporting student safety by providing backfill services when a TPS School Crossing Guard is absent.

Neptune Security Services guards will:

• Undergo the same screening processes, and will be provided the same training as current TPS School Crossing Guards.

• Be identified by an identification card that will be present on the left chest and a vest that contains a "Neptune Security Services" logo on the left chest and the letters "Crossing Guard" at the back.

For the 2018-2019 school year, TPS will continue to manage the administration of the School Crossing Guard Program. The School Crossing Guard program transitions fully to the City of Toronto, Transportation Services Division, in September of 2019.

About the Action Plan: The Way Forward

Mandated to look beyond the way policing is currently done in Toronto; the Transformational Task Force (TTF) proposed a modernized policing model for the city that is innovative, sustainable, and affordable. The final report - Action Plan: The Way Forward – contains 32 recommendations and was accepted by the Toronto Police Services Board in February, 2017 as the Service’s Business Plan for the next three years. The Toronto Police Service is now implementing this modernization plan. The new model will place communities at its core, be intelligence-led, optimize the use of resources and technology, and embrace partnerships as a means of enhancing capacity and capability.
