    Ok I’ve always been wondering about wtf these spEsHuL constables do. You’re right, they’re all over the city, but seem to be just driving around aimlessly. I had no idea they weren’t actual cops. Let me guess, average salary for a special constable is min 150k.

      they’re essentially security guards for the TPS. they do jobs that actual TPS officers don’t want to do. So you have special constables for TCHC, special constables for union station/GO transit, special constables that direct traffic, serve summons/warrants, drive people under arrest to court, medical facilities, etc. that’s all they do. it’s a waste of money.

      So in this video the fire fighter telling these kids what to do tracks as technically the fire fighter out ranks them. They’re errand boys for the TPS.
