Official Twitter of Ajax-Pickering community policing division. This account is not monitored 24/7. Please do not report a crime here. Call 911 in an emergency.

Complaining about an Amber Alert???? Sad. A young child lost her life and thanks to tips generated from the system justice has a chance at being served. Please try and see the big picture before being upset at a “loud” alert. ^bb
Our communications bureau is receiving numerous calls to 9-1-1, complaining about the late hour of the Amber Alert. As a direct result of someone receiving the alert, we were able to locate the suspect & his vehicle. The system works. Thank you to all those that called with tips.
Happening now...
@DRPSWestDiv
seizing another vehicle for excessive speed. 104kmhr in a 60kmhr zone. Did we mention the driver doesn't even have a motorcycle licence? How about insurance? OHHH wait they don't have that either... well now they won't have their bike for 14 days😕
To those posting RIDE locations on social media, or using apps like
@waze
to avoid RIDE checks ... just imagine it’s your loved one struck by a drunk driver. Do the right thing and just don’t drink and drive - better yet report those who do

#InThisTogether
Feel Good Story: Today is Colton’s 10th Birthday and he decided that he wanted to organize a food drive at 1730 Broadoak Cr Pickering in order to donate this food to the less fortunate during these hard times. So we popped by and gave him a little gift to show our appreciation!
Although we don’t take a political stance we stand beside our brothers and sisters in emergency services - especially
@DurhamParamedic
- in ensuring Durham Region is a safe place to live, work and play

Officers were on patrol in the
@TownOfAjax
when they saw a broken down car in a live lane of traffic. After stopping to help they began to push it off the roadway into a parking lot but struggled going up a hill. To those that didn’t hesitate to come help, thank you!^jp
You cannot, we repeat, cannot drive a vehicle with passengers just holding babies. This not is safe, and a recipe for disaster. Officer stopped this car only to find another child not buckled up in the back seat … charges laid

🐰Happy Easter From
@DRPSWestDiv
. Don't be in a rush this weekend. Here's another car being impounded for high speeds. 90kmhr in a 50kmhr Zone. Arrest, impoundment fee, licence suspension, fine or jail, points, another suspension and now a mandatory driver improvement course. DR
Being late for a hair cut is no reason to be 53km/h over the limit. Vehicle and licence gone for 7 days... please don’t risk your safety or the safety of others on the roadway.

Reason 1006 to renew your licence plates: if you are wanted by police for criminal offences, you may not want extra attention from our members. This driver was arrested on outstanding warrants - but was stopped for his expired plate. Visit
