Peel Regional Police asks the public to be vigilant when operating motor vehicles. Stay alert and report any suspicious persons or vehicles to the police.

  • Never leave your vehicle running with keys inside the vehicle.
  • If you are involved in a collision and feel unsafe, remain in your locked vehicle and contact the police.
  • Park in the garage if possible.
  • Cover your Vehicle Identification Number to prevent thieves from gathering specific data about your vehicle.
