Jan 26, 2017 | 10:15 AM

TORONTO — A task force report released Thursday makes 32 recommendations on how to “modernize” the 8,000-member Toronto Police Service. Here are some key ones:

 

Culture change: Moving toward collaborative and empathetic policing that encourages independent problem solving and fairness.

Neighbourhood policing: Assign officers for minimum three years to neighbourhoods to build trust and dialogue.

Risk-based response: Dispatch officers immediately only when required for safety reasons.
