Workforce
The service currently has an authorized strength of close to 1,600 sworn members and approximately 500 civilian staff. York Regional Police is only one of two forces in the greater Toronto area with an active air support unit (Durham is the other police force with one). While the Toronto Police Service does not have an air unit, York's air unit serves their area under a mutual support agreement.
