Toronto Police Service Responds to G20 Class Action Settlement

During the weekend of June 26 – 27, 2010, we were faced with a security challenge unprecedented in Toronto’s history, in the form of the Toronto G-20 Summit.

That weekend saw many Canadians exercising their Charter rights of freedom of expression in peaceful demonstrations. At the same time, several people chose to use that occasion to engage in incidents of vandalism, lawbreaking and public disorder.

We understand and acknowledge that in attempting to preserve peace and safety during those two days, there were times when matters were not addressed in the way they should have been and many hundreds of member of the public were detained or arrested when they should not have been and were held in detention in conditions that were unacceptable.

We regret that mistakes were made.

Reaching an agreement and an understanding of what worked and what did not work during that weekend are important developments that will help everyone move forward. We have and will continue to take meaningful steps, through our ongoing modernization process, to significantly enhance and improve our community engagement and all of our relationships to enable us to continue to keep our city safe for everyone.
