Everyone’s prime concern is community safety. Safety is maximized by enforcement, enforcement is maximized by having sufficient trained officers on the ground. Expenditures on personnel and operations will have the maximum impact on public safety.
The current Durham Regional Police division station at Brock and Kingston Road in Pickering serves both Ajax and Pickering.
- Development of North Pickering (Seaton) will be building a new police station (currently in the 2018 Regional Budget as a projected expense) and thus the relocation/replacement of the current divisional station
- At that time, it would be opportune for Ajax to have premiere consideration and Council should work proactively with DRPS to identify an optimum site.
- However, everyone’s prime concern is community safety, and safety is maximized by enforcement, enforcement is maximized by having sufficient trained officers on the ground. Expenditures on personnel and operations will have the maximum impact on public safety.
