Peel Regional Police (PRP) provides police services for Peel Region in Ontario, Canada. It is the second largest municipal police service in Ontario after the Toronto Police Service and third largest municipal force in Canada (behind Toronto and Montreal) with 1,937 uniformed members and close to 840 support staff. Peel Regional Police serve approximately 1,237,354 citizens of Mississauga and Brampton, located immediately west of Toronto, and the Pearson International Airport which annually sees 32 million travellers. Although it is part of the Region of Peel, policing for the Town of Caledon, which is north of Brampton, is the responsibility of the Ontario Provincial Police. The village of Snelgrove was once part of Caledon, but is now within Brampton, and is within the jurisdiction of the Peel force. Policing of 400-series highways that pass through the Region, including King's Highways 407 ETR, 403, and 410, is the responsibility of the OPP, while the PRP patrol the section of Highway 409 leading to the airport. ==History== Peel Regional Police was established in tandem with the creation of the Regional Municipality of Peel on January 1, 1974. It integrated the former police departments of Mississauga, Port Credit, Streetsville, Brampton, and Chinguacousy. Toronto Township Police Department was formed in January 1944 and was later renamed Mississauga Township Police Department in 1968. Brampton Township Police Department dates to 1873, when it was created to replace policing from Chinguacousy. It merged with the other local forces in 1974. Chinguacousy Township Police traces roots back to 1853, and was merged to the Peel force in 1974. Port Credit Police Department was founded with township's incorporation in 1909, and merged with the Mississauga force in 1961. Streetsville Police Department was formed in 1858 and merged into the Peel force in 1974. As of 2012 Peel Regional Police has 1937 officers and 840 civilian support staff. Since the creation of the Peel force only 4 deaths have been recorded, 3 from traffic accidents (latest in March 2010) and 1 from a stabbing (1984).〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peel Regional Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
