Our commitment to survivors of sexual assault
In 2018, York Regional Police established the Special Victims Unit - Sexual Assault Cold Case section to address unsolved sexual assault cases. These dedicated officers are committed to pursuing any new investigative leads and combining efforts with the Centre of Forensic Science to leverage new technologies to solve historic cases.
Reporting sexual assault online
York Regional Police understands that while sexual assaults often cause long-lasting trauma, survivors may have difficulty speaking about incidents with friends, family members or police officers. To help mitigate the challenges faced by sexual assault survivors, York Regional Police now accepts reports of historical sexual assaults online, which are received directly by qualified sexual assault investigators.
