Reporting issues in the downtown core helps all of us!

Be sure to post this in an area of your store/business that all staff can access. You may also want to review Report it! with your staff to better understand the different types of reports that can be made to Peel Regional Police (emergency/non-emergency) and to the City of Brampton via emailing or calling 3-1-1. In addition to this, the DBBIA recommends that all businesses reach out to Superintendent Sean McKenna at 22 Division - Peel Regional Police for any additional safety concerns in the downtown core.
