2025 Business Plan accomplishments
我们的员工
In 2025, York Regional Police modernized key business processes and practices, enhancing the effectiveness and safety of our members:
- Upon conducting a review and thorough process changes, we saw a tangible increase in our clearance rate.
- We ensured cases are cleared as per training, policies and procedures in accordance with the Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics (CCJCSS). Training was provided for anyone involved in case clearances within districts, and districts saw tangible increases in clearance rates.
- We improved internal tow truck procedures to reduce error and time spent by members, while reducing total impound fees paid by citizens.
- We improved drug seizure and submission processes and police vehicle operations training.
York Regional Police continued to develop member capabilities to proactively respond to emergencies and keep public order:
- Members of our Community Services Bureau hosted courses and workshops designed to improve service to diverse and vulnerable communities, including youths and racialized people.
- The York Region Community Safety Village and the YRP Public Order Unit continued to host external and joint training opportunities with the Toronto Police Services’ Emergency Management and Public Order Units and York Region Paramedic Services’ Search and Rescue Unit.
- We facilitated incident management training, to better coordinate emergency response across different government agencies, for our members and other police service members.
- We facilitated large-scale emergency response exercises with partner agencies.
- We provided additional training to frontline officers and Criminal Investigations Bureau members in relation to opioid calls, overdoses and death investigations.
We enriched and promoted resources that support members’ psychological, physical, emotional, spiritual and social health:
- Our Community Services Bureau hosted Weekly Wellness Wednesday check-ins, quarterly team building meetings and mindfulness presentations for Let’s Talk Day.
It Happened at YRP:
Wellness Bureau members marked Let’s Talk Day by visiting all YRP facilities and sharing information about the services they offer. Members took part in the day by writing messages of hope for those who are struggling on paper speech bubbles.

When you register your residential or commercial security cameras, YRP officers can see who in the area may have captured footage of a crime and can ask them directly for help. In 2025, our members connected with our community in person and on social media to increase registrations to and spread awareness of the YRP Security Camera Registry.
- We improved monitoring of police initiatives at our districts to better measure the quality of actionable intelligence gathered through activities like foot patrols and interactions with business owners.
- Joint-forces operations and internal task forces helped shut down criminal groups, prevent and solve crimes:
- Project Tow Line in #5 District resulted in 26 tow truck crime-related charges.
- Project Madruga and Project Green Authority resulted in large quantities of drugs and firearms seized.
- Project Chatter disrupted the importation and distribution of fentanyl and firearms trafficking across the province.
- Operation Auto Guard 3.0 combatted auto theft in the south end of York Region through data-driven, location-specific enforcement, engagement and crime prevention strategies.
- Thousands of information cards were handed out, translated into multiple languages.
- Through the operation, 73 stolen vehicles were recovered, 48 people were arrested and 242 charges were laid.
- As of December 2025, there was a 35 per cent drop year over year in car thefts.
York Regional Police collaborated with community partners to identify and prioritize risks that contribute to crime, victimization and harm:
- We engaged in a vulnerable youth mentorship program that matched members with young people.
- We supported the York Region Children, Youth and Families (CYF) Situation Tables, designed to reduce crime, victimization and improve community resilience, safety and well-being.
We implemented a road safety strategy that ensures safe people, safe vehicles and safe streets:
- Officers attended driver education programs to share real-life examples highlighting the consequences of dangerous driving.
