Keeping our community safe and affordable today, with 34 years of Policing Experience

I am Mike Matulewicz, running for Mayor of Mississauga and a seat on the Peel Regional Police Service Board.

I have decades of experience in police management, governance, budgets and Police Service Board issues.

Policing accounts for 43% of your property taxes.

Let us focus on “today’s" problems,

Affordable, priority policing on crime / traffic problems,

better health care by providing financial incentives for new family doctors,

homeless and affordable housing,

reduce taxes by cutting or pausing future programs.

Join me, to make our city a safe, desirable and affordable place to live "today".

Why me? Why now?

In less than 36 hours of being parked on my driveway, thieves caused $2500 damage attempting to steal, a 2021 Toyota Highlander from under my open bedroom window.

I had to file a police report on line.

evidence value of that report, is zero,
and the criminals are happy knowing that
no effort went into solving that crime.

With a $220 million dollar budget increase over the past 4 years

( $445 to $666 million),

I expected better service from the police.

With 683 vehicles stolen in 30 days this winter and insurance payout of $1.2 billion,

we must do better and demand more from existing police resources.

I understand tight budgets and limited resources,

however prevention of violent crime starts
with good basic police investigations and arrests.

My contribution to good fiscal governance.

No mayoral candidate or member of City Council has the police experience, operational and corporate knowledge that I have working half of my 34 years for the Toronto Police Service at the corporate level.

I can add valuable insights on policies and budget allocations as it relates to the overall effectiveness of the Peel Regional Police.

I can help them contain costs which is 43 % of your property taxes.

Ask yourself……are we on the path to a Billion Dollar Police Service and

what would 43% of your property tax bill look like then?

The Mayor ;

is one voice of 12 on the Council,
is one voice of 7 at the Peel Regional Police Services Board

I am uniquely qualified to be that expert voice, keep costs in check and advocate on your behalf.

“Protecting our families and homes at night”

By Installing;

Automated Licence Plate Readers
currently used in police cars,
discreetly installed on lamp standards
at all main entrances to a residential community.

Purpose:

Scan for stolen or wanted vehicles
coming into or out of our communities
triggering an automatic police response.

Effect

Adds an additional layer of night security,
for our families, homes and to deter criminals.

Why

Violent home invasions and carjacking
predicted to rise creating unsafe communities
it funds guns and drugs to prey on our vulnerable !

Family Physician Recruitment Plan

Plan

For a 10 year commitment to serve Mississauga,
Paying student loans up to $100,000,
No property tax for 10 years,
Assistance with locating appropriate office space
And recruiting staff, etc.

Why

Projected 400,000 people will not have family doctor by 2026
In Mississauga, Caledon and Brampton.
to attract significant number of family doctors
for a healthy, more productive community.
on average each new family doctor can service 1,500 patients.

Effect

reduced wait times in Hospital E.Rs,
reduced long term medical costs which will
pay back many times the original cash incentives
decrease burden on over worked family physicians.

Chronically Homeless

Chronically homeless with years of life on the street,

frequently experience severe health issues

requiring significant medical intervention

and live shorter tragic lives.

They place more demands on police

and social service resources

They require a place to live first before any effective intervention!

begin partnerships with adjoining cities to share solutions along our borders.

I fully support the Association of the Municipalities of Ontario position that:

Homelessness is a social, economic and health crisis across Ontario and that urgent action is needed by all levels of government.

Summary.

The magnitude of the crime , shortage of housing and Family Doctors has never been greater nor more urgent.

Covid taught us the unthinkable can happen. We need to act now.

Suspend future projects, for the priorities of today.

This is a time to focus our tax dollars on these critical issues for the City of Mississauga to have a bright future.
