Brampton is a bustling city of over half a million people in the Greater Toronto area. Founded in 1853, and once referred to as the Flower City, Brampton is now better known for its concentrated industry and its high levels of new Canadians. A very multicultural city, Brampton is a major destination for immigrants from all over the world, notably from India and Pakistan (40% of Brampton’s population).
Located close to the busiest airport in Canada (Pearson International Airport), Brampton is a major transportation hub, with rail, highway and air links to the GTA and North America. A billboard claiming that “All Roads Lead to Brampton” states a fact: with highways 401, 403, 407, 409, 410, and 427, Brampton is surrounded by major roadways.
Brampton is the seat of government for the Regional Municipality of Peel, which includes the City of Mississauga and the Town of Caledon. Together, this regional municipality is home to a population of over 1.3 million people. The headquarters for the Regional Municipality of Peel is located at 10 Peel Centre Drive. The City of Brampton is run from its City Hall at 2 Wellington Street West, near Queen St. and Main St.
Brampton is policed by the Peel Regional Police Service (PRPS), Canada’s third largest, whose Headquarters is located at 7750 Hurontario St. in Brampton.
The PRPS polices Brampton from its detachment at 22 and 22 Divisions, and community sub-stations (Malton Community Station, Cassie Campbell Community Station and the Airport Division).
