Targeted investigations like Project Matrix are an important part of keeping our communities safe. I want to thank the members of 55 Division and everyone involved for their dedication and hard work over the past several months.
Every time we take illegal firearms and drugs off our streets, we help prevent gun violence and reduce harm in our communities. The results of this investigation, including 44 arrests and 187 charges laid, send a clear message: if you are involved in illegal firearms or drug trafficking, we will identify you, arrest you, and hold you accountable.
Toronto Police have arrested 44 people and laid 187 charges as part of Project Matrix, a 55-Division led investigation targeting illegal firearms, drug trafficking, and related criminal activity.
Investigators also seized eight illegal firearms, nearly 800 rounds of ammunition, and large quantities of illegal drugs.

Toronto Police have arrested three individuals and seized a firearm as part of an investigation into online marketplace robberies involving high-value items.
Protect yourself when selling online:
- Use trusted dealers or secure delivery services, especially when selling expensive items.
- Meet in a busy, well-lit public place.
- Never ignore red flags - walk away if something feels wrong.

Yesterday, Chief @TPSMyronDemkiw reminded the public that while debate and discussion are an important part of the election, election signs are the property of the candidates they represent and should not be removed, damaged or tampered with.
If you witness election signs being stolen, damaged or tampered with, please report it to police: tps.ca/services/online-repor…
"Stop tampering with lawn signs. There are laws. We will enforce them when the evidence presents itself." @TorontoPolice @TPSMyronDemkiw addresses the theft of campaign signs across the city, telling @MooreintheAM there will be a way to report any vandalism during the election.

We have maintained an increased presence at strategic locations throughout the Jewish High Holy Days and will continue to do so today, and make it a continuing priority. Over the past weeks and days, I have met with community members and faith leaders who shared their concerns and fears. Our officers are conducting visits and engagement at places of worship, schools, and community centres. We will continue to stand together against antisemitism to keep people safe.
