Peel Regional Police 12 Division – Mississauga, ON

24/7 Policing and Community Safety in East Mississauga

Peel Regional Police 12 Division is a critical law enforcement hub located at 4600 Dixie Road, serving the eastern districts of Mississauga. This division is responsible for a diverse and busy jurisdiction that includes residential neighbourhoods, thriving commercial areas, and the industrial zones surrounding Toronto Pearson International Airport. The station operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing a safe haven for the public and a base of operations for uniformed patrol officers. The facility is designed to facilitate rapid response to emergency calls, maintain public order, and foster strong connections with the local community through proactive engagement and crime prevention initiatives.

Core Police Services and Operations

The officers at 12 Division handle a wide array of duties essential to public safety. The Uniform Patrol Bureau is the primary frontline unit, responding to 9-1-1 emergencies, domestic disputes, and traffic incidents. The division also houses a Criminal Investigation Bureau, where detectives investigate property crimes, assaults, and other criminal offences committed within the division’s boundaries. Community safety is further enhanced by the Neighbourhood Policing Unit, which focuses on long-term problem solving and building trust with residents and business owners. While the station is a primary point of contact for help, it is important to note that collision reporting is generally handled at the Collision Reporting Centres, not directly at the division front desk unless there are injuries or criminal elements involved.

• Emergency Response: Immediate deployment of resources to life-threatening situations and crimes in progress.
• Community Patrol: High-visibility presence in parks, schools, and shopping districts to deter crime.
• Criminal Investigations: Dedicated detectives working to solve break-ins, thefts, and violent crimes.
• Traffic Enforcement: Targeted campaigns to reduce speeding and aggressive driving on major thoroughfares like Dixie Road and Eglinton Avenue.
• Victim Support: assisting victims of crime with resources, referrals, and compassionate care.

Access and Reporting Procedures

The front lobby of 12 Division is open to the public for general inquiries and reporting non-emergency crimes. However, the Peel Regional Police encourages the use of their online reporting system for minor incidents such as theft under $5,000, mischief/damage to property, and driving complaints where no immediate police presence is required. This allows officers to prioritize high-priority emergency calls. Visitors to the station can speak with an officer about community concerns or obtain information on police procedures. The facility maintains strict security protocols to ensure the safety of all visitors and staff. The station is conveniently located near the intersection of Dixie Road and Eglinton Avenue East, making it easily accessible via major transit routes.
