The Toronto police chief and mayor on Wednesday introduced some extra front-line officers throughout peak hours for gun violence for the rest of the summer season.

Elevated assets can be devoted to patrols in the course of the hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m., the window throughout which most shootings happen within the metropolis.

The transfer is an element of a brand new “gun violence discount plan” that comes within the wake of a spate of high-profile and brazen shootings.

“Operations can be “intelligence-led” and can concentrate on “main gamers when it comes to gun play” within the metropolis,” said Chief Mark Saunders.

This system will start on Friday and run city-wide for eight weeks

Saunders mentioned there can be “steady and ongoing evaluations” all through to guarantee its being carried out successfully.
