Alarms are also reported in central areas, and in the north as the conflict spreads.

Officers will be equipped with patrol rifles and other long guns as part of a deterrence strategy. The service is also establishing a dedicated Counter-Terrorism Security Unit to ensure continuity, oversight, and proactive risk mitigation through an intelligence-led, evidence-based approach. It will improve information sharing and strengthen security partnerships with the RCMP, the Ontario Provincial Police, and local and international law enforcement partners to identify and disrupt potential threats affecting Toronto and the GTA.
