Toronto Police Unveil New Counter-Terrorism Units Amid Rising Hate Incidents

Toronto police have established a Counter-Terrorism Security Unit and Task Force Guardian to enhance safety following a surge in hate incidents. The units, equipped with tactical gear and patrol rifles, will patrol places of worship, public spaces, and key infrastructure. They will collaborate with the RCMP and provincial police to identify and mitigate risks, particularly ahead of Toronto hosting six FIFA World Cup games in June. Jewish community leaders have welcomed the move, citing a rise in threats and hate crimes, which have increased by 19% this year. The new units aim to ensure safer streets amid lingering tensions.
