BRAMPTON FINALIZES FUNDING FOR PEEL POLICE SATELLITE STATION

Brampton, ON- At its September 15th meeting, Brampton City Council unanimously approved a
budget of $271,000 for the construction of a Peel Regional Police satellite station located at Gore
Meadows Community Centre in Ward 10.
Planning for the station commenced in November 2020 following the passing of Councillor
Gurpreet Singh Dhillon’s motion, and has now completed the architectural design and funding
phases. Construction will begin in early 2022.
“The funding approval is the final step before construction, and I thank Council for their support
in ensuring Brampton’s east end gets the police presence it urgently requires,” noted Councillor
Dhillon. “This satellite station will allow for quicker response times and an increased police
footprint in Wards 8, 9, and 10, while also providing residents a greater sense of security.”
Notes:
• Currently the Peel Regional Police has no buildings, stations, or offices east of Bramalea Road,
which represents more than a third of Brampton’s population.
• It takes officers nearly 25-45 minutes to travel from 21 Division near Bramalea City Centre to the
corner of Mayfield and Highway 50.
• Ward 8, 9, and 10 saw crimes against property increase by 34% and crimes against people increase
by 50% from 2014 to 2018.
