| - The University of Toronto Campus Safety Division, formerly named the University of Toronto Campus Police, was created in 1904 as the university's campus police force. The University of Toronto Campus Safety division has jurisdiction over 80,000 students, faculty and staff, in addition to the thousands of visitors to the University each day. The division is commanded by three Police (Special Constable) managers assigned to each campus (St. George, Scarborough and Mississauga-Erindale). Several platoons have been organized which consist of Staff Sergeants, Corporals and Constables. These platoons of officers provide policing services to the University around the clock, 365 days per year. Each platoon consists of specialized officers who are trained in general and advanced patrol functions. In addition, officers are also trained in advanced criminal investigation functions, including SOCO (scene of crime officer). Campus Safety SOCO officers will examine crime scenes for trace evidence and submit their findings to Toronto Police Forensic Identification Unit. University of Toronto Campus Safety Special Constables are sworn in as Peace Officers through the Toronto Police and Peel Police Services Boards after being approved by the Provincial Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Special Constables are appointed as Peace Officers under the Ontario Police Services Act. This appointment under the Act confers police authority on Campus Safety officers as per the agreement with Toronto and Peel Regional Police Services Boards. Campus Safety officers possess powers of arrest, search and seizure. They also have the authority and discretion to lay criminal and provincial offence charges. Offenders who are taken into custody by University of Toronto Campus Police are transported to city/regional police detention centers for holding and processing. Campus Safety provides policing services specific to the university sector, which otherwise may not be provided by the jurisdictional police. Criminal/provincial offence occurrences which occur within the University community are investigated by Campus Safety, who prepare jurisdictional police reports which are then submitted to Toronto or Peel Police as per the Special Constable Service agreement. In 2019, the Government of Ontario passed the Comprehensive Police Services Act (Bill 68) which revoked Special Constable services' rights to call themselves "police" services. Under the new law, only municipal and provincial law enforcement agencies authorized by the Solicitor General of Ontario may call themselves "Police" departments. Accordingly, the University of Toronto Campus Police rebranded itself as "Campus Safety" and re-outfitted all its liveries and visual media. The rebranding was completed in 2021. (en)
