Community Response Unit (CRU)
In addition to the uniform presence/primary response that the Campus Community Police provide, the CRU works behind the scenes on an array of projects which include but are not limited to:
- Case Management (Criminal and Provincial offences)
- Property and Evidence Management
- VIP visits / Special Events
- Crime Prevention / CPTED auditing (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design)
- Intelligence, Investigations & Follow up
Several officers with the University of Toronto Campus Community Police are SOCOs (Scene of Crime Officers) who are designated to process crime scenes and collect evidence. Evidence that the Campus Community Police may collect is then forwarded to the Toronto Police Forensic Identification Services for further investigation and evaluation. Fingerprints recovered from crime scenes are entered into AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) and compared against fingerprints on file. DNA evidence is also collected and submitted.

“We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”

“The reason can give nothing at all Like the response to desire.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
