Toronto Ambulance Service

d. 2021

The Toronto Police Service stands as the primary law enforcement agency for Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its history dates back to 1834, marking it as the first local police service established in North America and among the oldest in the English-speaking world. Today, it is recognized as the largest municipal police service within Canada.

Beyond its size, the service holds significant weight in the city's financial planning. For 2023, its operational budget was reported as $1.16 billion, making it the second-largest expenditure in the City of Toronto's yearly operating budget, following only the Toronto Transit Commission.
