The most hilarious tweets from the Toronto Police Twitter account
If you’re not following the Toronto Police Operations Twitter account, you’re missing out. Of course, it’s a great source of information for updates regarding missing persons, wanted criminals, traffic disruptions and life-threatening situations to avoid.
