TORONTO — The number of incidents Toronto police officers determined to be hate-motivated has gone up nearly 55 per cent compared with the same period last year, police said Monday.
Deputy Chief Robert Johnson told the Toronto Police Service Board that officers are responding to an average of five hate crime calls a day.
Johnson said that since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7, police have responded to 1,378 calls for reported hate crimes, and 333 incidents were determined to be hate-motivated. Chief Myron Demkiw said the force's liaisons with the Jewish and Muslim communities have made dozens of school visits and presentations since October, and have met with religious and community organizations.
