Today we responded to unconfirmed information with an increased police presence in the downtown core. We did this to mitigate the potential risk to public safety.
We know this heightened security can be concerning for the public. Our goal is always to be as transparent as possible while protecting the integrity of our investigations.
We have now resumed normal operations.
You will continue to see a police presence around the Rogers Centre as part of our 2018 downtown security plan.
We would like to thank our partners, in both the public and private sector, for their assistance and we would like to thank the public for their understanding.
