Re:Proposed Combining of Toronto Police Services Divisions 12 and 13
Date:December 10, 1998
As an active member of the 13 Division Special Crime Committee I wish to express may
opposition to the proposed amalgamation of the Toronto Police Services Divisions 12 and 13.
It is may concern that the unique dynamics of community policing in 13 Division, especially
in the Ward I represent (Ward 28) would be lost as a result of the melding of these two
divisions. Of strong concern is the unique effect this division has had on the Eglinton West
community.
I believe that any changes made to 13 Division will be to the detriment of the neighbourhood
commitments manifested by the businesses, residents and the police at 13 Division. There is
truly a neighbourhood feeling here and the men and women of 13 Division continuously prove
to be good neighbors.
Sincerely,
Councillor Joe Mihevc
Ward 28 York-Eglinton
