To help keep dangerous offenders behind bars, our government is investing $3 billion to expand adult correctional capacity, adding more than 2,500 spaces over the next decade.
We’re strengthening border security by investing $32.5 million in new tools, technology and investigative resources that will help police detect, deter and disrupt the smuggling of illegal firearms, drugs and other contraband into Ontario.
To combat auto theft, dangerous driving and organized crime, we’re investing $134 million in the Joint Air Support Unit to acquire five helicopters to serve the GTA and Ottawa, and an additional $57 million for two H-135 helicopters that will support Windsor Police Service and Niagara Regional Police Service.
To help police services recruit and train more officers, we removed tuition fees for the Basic Constable Training program at the Ontario Police College, helping train over 8,000 new officers since 2022.
