About Peel’s CSWB Plan

Stronger collaboration, greater impact

Peel's Community Safety and Well-being (CSWB) Plan sets out how partners across different sectors can work together to make Peel a safer, more inclusive, and connected community where all residents thrive.

This collaborative effort is supported by a shared governance structure that brings partners together at the leadership level. The System Leadership Team, a group of cross-sector leaders, work together to provide strategic guidance, strengthen shared accountability, and advance system-wide change.

Vision

Peel is a safe, inclusive and connected community where all residents thrive.

Mission

We will work together to ensure access to services and supports that advance safety, connectedness, and well-being for all Peel residents.

Background

As legislated under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, municipalities must prepare and adopt a plan. CSWB Plans are mandated to be supported by advisory committees consisting of the chief of police and representatives from the health sector, education, community or social services, youth services, municipalities, and the police services board. In Peel, the System Leadership Table serves as our advisory committee.

The plan is guided by the Ministry of the Solicitor General’s Community Safety and Well-being Planning Framework, which seeks to enhance community safety and well-being by addressing key local risk factors through proactive and integrated strategies. The focus on proactive, preventative efforts and upstream social development has proven to reduce the financial burden of crime including the number of incidents that require enforcement.

Refer to Ontario’s community safety and well-being planning framework in the CSWB plan.

The first iteration of Peel’s Community Safety and Well-being (CSWB) Plan 2020-2024 was endorsed by Peel Region Council on October 22, 2020.

Municipalities are legislatively required to review and, if necessary, revise their CSWB Plans every 4 years. To meet this requirement, a structured approach was taken to review the first iteration of Peel’s CSWB Plan 2020-2024.

Peel Region Council endorsed the updated CSWB Plan on June 12, 2025, and the updated strategic priorities on May 28, 2026.
