Greg Watts (aka Wattsy) was born and raised in Toronto to a policing family. After achieving a lifelong goal of becoming a police officer he spent many years working in the area that he grew up in and lived. After being exposed to the many functions of front line policing he became involved in the business and administrative side of public safety and also in the world of Emergency Management. While creating the F.O.C.U.S Rexdale HUB model he understood the dependence on collaboration across public services to prevent crime and victimization, and, during his time as the operational planning lead for the Pan Am Games he gained a new appreciation for the need to increase collaboration and align more across policing and private sector agencies.
In 2016 Greg was assigned as a member of the Transformational Task Force, which was given the mandate to modernize and transform policing in Toronto. Immediately following that he was transferred to Strategy Management and tasked with the implementation of all modernization initiatives. He is currently the Superintendent of Communications Services (911) and is also working to double down on the Services crime prevention efforts. He always promises to work collaboratively with our community partners to ensure that our neighbourhoods are safe and healthy. In 2025 Greg was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in recognition of his contributions to community safety and well-being.
