Regarding Emergency Operations.
Toronto police will deploy the "largest" number of officers in the service's history for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Toronto officials unveiled a new $12.5-million police command centre on Tuesday that is the centrepiece of the city's security plans for the FIFA World Cup.
The Toronto Integrated Safety and Security Unit Area Command Centre, known as the TACC, will bring together the co-ordination of emergency services under one roof.
Emergency services that will have staff at the centre include the Toronto Police Service, Toronto Fire Services, Toronto Paramedic Services, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto Hydro, Toronto Water, the Ontario coroner's office, Metrolinx and the TTC.
The centre will have "decision makers" from each service who will be able to co-ordinate a response if an incident occurs and enable the services to work closely together.
Police will test the command centre operation this weekend during Saturday's Toronto FC and Inter Miami game.
The plan is to use the command centre beyond the World Cup for such events as the Toronto Caribbean Carnival and Pride Toronto festival weekend. It will be up and running on June 6 and for the duration of the games.
Police are also prepared for protests that might happen during the games.
