Inspector Jack Gurr

Jack Gurr has 27 years of policing experience and currently holds the rank of Inspector with the Toronto Police Service. His first 10 years as a Constable were spent in many different roles including front-line response, as a community officer, a criminal investigator, and a Hate Crime investigator in the Intelligence Branch.

As a Supervisor, he gained experience on a divisional platoon, as a criminal investigator, and as a team lead on the implementation of a new records management system. Most interestingly, he worked on a criminal investigative task force created as a result of the G-20 World Leader Conference held in Toronto in 2010 to bring those who engaged in criminal acts to justice. In addition, Jack was the Operations Chief in the Operations Centre, and later gained valuable experience in Human Resources and hiring. He also spent several years leading a platoon of front-line officers and investigators in a busy general response division.

As an Inspector, he led the Equity, Inclusion and Human Rights team to help foster a more inclusive and professional workplace. Most recently, as a result of the war in the Middle East, Jack has been assigned to “Project Resolute” in an operational capacity to lead the Service’s community deployment of officers. This has been an evolving period in Toronto, and, as a part-time member of the Public Order team for the last 23 years, a challenge Jack has been eager to be part of.
