Deputy Chief Shawna Coxon says one shift of front-line officers in a division in the city's northwest corner began wearing the cameras last week.

The Ontario Human Rights Commission said it is worried the report presented at Tuesday's Toronto Police Services Board meeting "will amount to mere lip service."

The Toronto Police Services Board made its decision Tuesday afternoon during a meeting in which it also considered multiple reports related to police reforms.

The agreement comes after 10 years of court proceedings and negotiations between the Toronto Police Services Board and representatives for about 1,100 people who were arrested during the summit.

The reforms are set to be considered at a virtual public meeting of the Toronto Police Service Board on Aug. 18.

Toronto must find a new way to deal with people in mental health crisis and root out racism within its police force, concerned citizens said on Thursday.

"Would we send a police officer to respond to a heart attack or an asthma attack? It's a disservice to our community and it's a disservice to the police when the police officer becomes the only option to call during a mental health crisis."

The Toronto Police Services Board was originally set to consider the report, which contains eight recommendations aimed at combatting racism in the force, at a meeting on Friday.

The report, which the board will review at a meeting on Friday, suggests expanding the Mobile Crisis Intervention Team Program "on an urgent basis," with funding from the current budget.

The proposal stipulates a 3.9 per cent increase for 2020, which would be mean a total budget of $1.076 billion. The proposed 2020 budget is $40.8 million higher than the 2019 budget.
