Public safety

Public safety in Brampton is shared work. The City runs fire and emergency services, by-law enforcement, and community safety programs, while policing and paramedics are organized at the regional level. Candidates can influence these systems in different ways depending on the office they seek.

What Brampton City Hall can influence

  • Enforcement and by-law services
  • Community Safety and Well-Being programs
  • Lighting, design, and maintenance choices in public spaces
What usually sits elsewhere

Police governance

  • Policing in Brampton is delivered regionally. Ask candidates how they would engage police governance rather than what they would order police to do.

Questions residents can reuse

Reusable as written. They do not favor a candidate, and they work in an email, at a door, or at an all-candidates meeting.

  1. What does community safety mean for this ward area specifically, beyond policing?
  2. How would you measure whether safety spending is working?
  3. What role should by-law enforcement play in issues residents raise most often?
  4. How would you engage with regional police governance from the seat you are running for?
