Vaughan like many municipalities in York Region have been hit with a string of auto thefts and break-ins in the last year.

The City of Vaughan is continuing to work with the YRP in advancing community safety initiatives. Deputy Mayor and local and regional Councillor Linda Jackson was appointed to the YRP Services board for the 2022-2026 Term of Council.
