Toronto Police Station move to temporary premises at Boolaroo

Toronto police have announced they will be moving to temporary premises while a new police station is built on the existing site.
The current police station has been operating out of the Carey Street premises for a considerable number of years and was badly in need of updating.

As of Monday 29 February 2016, Toronto police will be operating out of Boolaroo Police Station at 95 Main Road, Boolaroo, while the new premises at Toronto are constructed.

Acting Superintendent Darryn Cox welcomed the change, but wished to reassure the community that police resources in the area will not be affected by the move.

“Despite the move, members of the public should be reassured that Police will continue to serve the community of Toronto and surrounding areas.”

“Anyone who wants to report crime will be able to do so day or night with the Boolaroo police station open 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Acting Superintendent Cox said.

Members of the public are also being informed that the phone number (02 4950 3699) for general inquiries to Toronto Police Station remains unchanged, with calls transferred to Boolaroo.
Meanwhile, anyone in need of urgent assistance should call emergency services via Triple Zero (000).
