The Toronto Police Service would like to advise and update the public regarding several ice-storm-related issues.
The TPS has opened warming centres in 13 police buildings. For a list of these locations, click here.
We are continuing to bring in extra staff to assist with issues raised by the storm. As we do this, we would like to remind people that, for storm-related non-emergencies, 3-1-1 is the best number to call. Anyone looking to report wires down or hydro service interruptions should call Toronto Hydro at 416-542-8000.
We are asking for the public's cooperation in helping police keep the 9-1-1 lines as clear as possible. 9-1-1 is for emergencies only. Anyone with non-urgent police matters should call the Toronto Police Service Non-Emergency number at 416-808-2222.
As Toronto Hydro continues to work to restore power, there are still many signalized intersections without power. The Toronto Police Service would like to remind the public that all non-signalized or non-functioning signalized intersections are to be treated like a four-way stop. Drivers should slow down, take a few extra seconds at each intersection, and make sure that they are going through safely.
Finally, anyone with neighbours who are elderly or have mobility issues is encouraged to check in on them and ensure their well-being. Additionally, if you can share any information you have regarding reporting issues with those who may not have access to the information, it would be greatly appreciated.
