Hello 31 Division community,

As we are all going through these trying times due to COVID 19, I want to give a CPLC update. Unfortunately, we will not be able to meet in person because of the pandemic, but we are planning to give regular updates by email. 

I want to begin by welcoming Inspector Keith Smith who joins us from 51 Division. Inspector Smith is replacing Inspector Lisa Crooker now Acting Superintendent of 14 Division. We want to thank Acting Superintendent Crooker for all her great work and leadership while serving at 31 Division.

Welcome Inspector Keith Smith

Inspector Smith transferred to 31 Division as the Unit Commander as of August 31st. As a bit of a condensed version of his experience, Inspector has 34 years on the job with Toronto Police. He has worked throughout the city in that time in various units and ranks. Inspector Smith has spent the last year and a half at 51 Division as the Inspector / 2^nd in Charge which by far is the busiest Division and most densely populated area in the City. There were a host of community and social issues in that area that contributed to crime and disorder that he had the opportunity to work collaboratively with members of the community, Politicians, Faith Leaders, businesses and city agencies in attempts to solve and reduce. It is still a work in progress for sure.
 
Inspector Smith is looking forward to learning about the community in 31 Division and, of course, the area and residents that make up the group that you support. Inspector Smith did work at 31 Division as a new Sergeant in 2001 and as a Detective until the end of 2004.

4. 31 Division CPLC Website - We are proud to announce that our 31 Division CPLC website is now live. Please visit www.31division.ca We are hoping this site becomes a central hub for relevant information for community members. This site will also act as a resource for events, safety information and communication with the community. This is not monitored by Toronto Police Service. All Non-emergencies can be reported by calling 416-808-2222, and Emergency 9-1-1.
