Major Drug and Weapons Seizure in Peel: Mayor Commends Community Intervention and Response Team
Peel Police’s CIRT team has taken over $1 million in dangerous drugs, a loaded handgun, and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition off our streets through Project Winner, a community-driven investigation that began with a resident’s tip. Mayor Patrick Brown says the operation “isn’t just about drugs or guns—it’s about saving lives and sending a clear message that traffickers will be held accountable.”

Peel Police hosted Ontario’s first policing-led Victims and Survivors Symposium, highlighting how Canada’s justice system often prioritizes the rights of the accused over victims, leaving families feeling revictimized. Police and community voices called for urgent bail reform, stronger advocacy for survivors, and collaborative action across all levels of government to fix the system.
