Does the ptoronto police send tickets in the mail

In Toronto, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) does not typically send tickets in the mail. Instead, they usually issue tickets on the spot to drivers who violate traffic laws or parking regulations.

However, there are some exceptions where the TPS may send a ticket by mail:

  1. Parking tickets: If you receive a parking ticket, it will usually be mailed to you by the City of Toronto's Municipal Licensing and Standards (ML&S) department, not the TPS. You can pay parking tickets online or by mail.
  2. Summary Offence Tickets: In some cases, the TPS may issue a summary offence ticket, which is a less serious offense that can be dealt with through the mail. These tickets are usually related to minor infractions, such as littering or noise disturbances.
  3. Bylaw Infractions: The TPS may also issue bylaw infraction tickets, which are related to municipal bylaws, such as noise bylaws or animal control issues. These tickets are usually mailed to the offender.

If you receive a ticket in the mail from the TPS, you should follow the instructions provided to respond to the ticket. Failure to respond or pay the fine can result in additional penalties and fines.

Remember, it's always a good idea to check your mail regularly to ensure you don't miss any important notifications or fines from the TPS or other authorities.
