We Are In 11 Division

Despite a series of inaccurate maps by the Globe and Mail I wanted to reassure people that we in fact live in 11 Division in terms of Policing.

The Globe has been trying to push a "Murder Capital Of Toronto" angle on the Keele and Eglinton area and through their sloppy reporting we got drawn into this. The issue of gun violence in that area is a serious problem but I cant help feel that this series of stories has a Toronto Sun vibe about it. As a Globe subscriber I am concerned that this is a new editorial slant by the Globe favouring sensationalism over reporting.

I would add that they originally published an incorrect map over a month ago and I called them about it. They then repeated the error but this time with a larger map in colour. They claimed that they had extensively researched the map which seemed odd to me since the correct map can be found easily at the Police Website.

So just to be clear we are in 11 Division and that HQ is at 209 Mavety Avenue in the Junction and their number is 808-1100. In 3 years they will be moving to the Carlton Village School site on Davenport and the 11 Division boundaries will be extended east to include all of Parkdale (something that should have been done years ago) and I think up to St.Clair.

Today the Globe promised me not to make this mistake again and issued a (don't blink) correction in a weeny teeny bottom of the page which is more of a moral victory than a true clarification. BTW way they used the name Junction Triangle, I never brought it up.
