Here's what the 2025 Ontario election parties are promising.

PC

  • Invest more than $70M to help police dismantle organised crime networks
  • Eliminate tuition fees for Basic Constable Training
  • Invest $1B for a new and renovated Ontario Police College and Ontario Provincial Police Academy

    "Continue supporting our brave men and women in policing by graduating an additional 550 police officers each year for a total 2,080 annually, eliminating tuition fees for Basic Constable Training to incentivize new recruits and investing $1 billion for a new and renovated Ontario Police College and Ontario Provincial Police Academy to help improve and expand police training in our province." — Our Plan to Protect Ontario, retrieved 2025-02-26

  • Set stiffer penalties for auto thieves

    "Cracking down on auto theft by investing more than $70 million in new measures to help police dismantle organized crime networks, along with stiffer penalties for auto thieves, including a life-time driver’s license ban for repeat offenders and the strongest penalties in Canada for VIN fraud, including up to $100,000 in fines and six months in jail, alongside strengthened measures and technology at Service Ontario to eliminate all transactions involving stolen vehicles." — Our Plan to Protect Ontario, retrieved 2025-02-26

  • Invest $38M to extend the Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant to help faith-based and cultural organisations implement security measures

    "$38 million to extend the Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant to help faith-based and cultural organizations implement measures to ensure their community spaces remain safe and secure, such as hiring security staff, surveillance cameras, security assessments, cybersecurity and building repairs." — Our Plan to Protect Ontario, retrieved 2025-02-26

  • Expand the Sex Offender Registry to include more types of offenses, and name and shame people on it
