Peel Regional Police
Peel Regional Police (PRP) provides police services for Peel Region in Ontario, Canada. It is the second largest municipal police service in Ontario after the Toronto Police Service and third largest municipal force in Canada (behind Toronto and Montreal) with 1,937 uniformed members and close to 840 support staff.
Peel Regional Police serve over 1,300,000 citizens of Mississauga and Brampton, located immediately west of Toronto, and the Pearson International Airport which annually sees 32 million travellers. Although it is part of the Region of Peel, policing for the Town of Caledon, which is north of Brampton, is the responsibility of the Ontario Provincial Police. The village of Snelgrove was once part of Caledon, but is now within Brampton, and is within the jurisdiction of the Peel force. Policing of 400-series highways that pass through the Region, including King's Highways 407 ETR, 403, and 410, is the responsibility of the OPP, while the PRP patrol the section of Highway 409 leading to the airport.

Famous quotes containing the word police:
“It is human agitation, with all the vulgarity of needs small and great, with its flagrant disgust for the police who repress it, it is the agitation of all men ... that alone determines revolutionary mental forms, in opposition to bourgeois mental forms.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
