Once again, under the leadership of Chief Moreira and his Command team, the civilian and sworn members of the DRPS delivered positive community safety results to the residents of our Region, and the visitors that we welcome. Through crime prevention, law enforcement, emergency response, assistance to victims and maintaining the public peace, the Service delivered high quality police services in 2025 that earned the support of the community. The rate of both violent and property crime decreased, road safety improved, compliance checks skyrocketed, partnerships were enhanced, and the commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion was strengthened. Despite positive trends in many areas, we must remain vigilant and sustain our approach to community safety through continued investments – in people, training, infrastructure and partnerships. Threats and challenges to our collective security persist and continue to evolve. Criminals continue to exploit opportunities to prey on the vulnerable, using sophisticated means to commit frauds against seniors and to traffic in young people. Intimate partner violence and the theft of vehicles remain at elevated levels. And challenges related to mental health, addiction, and homelessness continue to confront our sense of safety. The 2025 budget included funding for an additional 116 new positions, to support frontline policing and investigative capacity. These new positions will enable the expansion of the Financial Crimes and Special Victims units, and the introduction of a dedicated team to investigate auto theft crimes. Additional funding will also allow for the modernization of the Service’s administrative and technical support systems and DRPS facilities.
