Crime Report - March/April 2025

​

The West Rouge community is notably one of the safest within the Toronto Police Service 43 Division boundaries, and as neighbours, we maintain that distinction working together and sharing information on community crime and suspicious activities.

 

Sponsored by the West Rouge Community Association, we are launching a WhatsApp group for reporting suspicious activity in our neighbourhood. The purpose of the group is to allow neighbours to report, share details, and pictures of suspicious incidents that are or have taken place.

​

To request to join the West Rouge Community Association Safety and Crime Prevention WhatsApp group, please email Kirk O'Brien for the link to join.

 

43 Division through their monthly Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) meetings have been clear that reports of suspicious behaviour are prioritized and responded to with limited resources. Reliance on communities to become better at interpreting what is or isn't suspicious behaviour is crucial. Building a strong reputation for the West Rouge community of reporting legitimate suspicious behaviour can have positive impacts on both the community and law enforcement response.

 

Below, please find links to resources from 43 Division, including information about what's considered suspicious neighbourhood activity and how to report non-emergency incidents.

Please email Kirk O'Brien for any questions. Let’s work together to protect and enhance the safety of our community!
