A typical post picks up 19 interactions against 440K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 109 original posts, its engagement rate beats 24% of 20,182 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 5.1K times each, and 0.373% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.16% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 109 posts sampled, 97% carry an image or video and 85% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.8K interactions, about 146x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #endofwatch, #heroesinlife, #backtoschool.

Compared with accounts its own size

Toronto Police's engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 25% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.004%, Toronto Police sits above the 10th percentile of the 202,467 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 202,467 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,932 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video97% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 97% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 85% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 182 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    CIJA, @bnaibrithcanada, and @CanadianFSWC Call for Justice Following Antisemitic Hate Speech at Bathurst and Sheppard What happened at Bathurst and Sheppard this weekend was blatant antisemitism. An individual who is reportedly a university instructor stood in a Jewish neighbourhood and repeated some of the oldest and most vile lies and conspiracy theories about Jews – accusing Jews of using “black magic,” raping, murdering, and eating children. These are antisemitic blood libels that have been used for centuries to justify hatred and violence against Jews. For far too long, Bathurst and Sheppard has been a regular site of antisemitic harassment, intimidation, and provocation, too often under the guise of antizionism. We have seen how anti-Israel hate is being used to legitimize hostility toward Jewish Canadians, with increasingly dangerous consequences. When this behaviour is allowed to continue without meaningful consequences, the message is that targeting Jews in this way is acceptable. It is not. Toronto Police must investigate this incident and, where the law has been broken, charges must follow. There must be consequences for those who repeatedly use public demonstrations as cover to spread hatred, incitement and target Toronto’s Jewish community. Allowing this behaviour to go unchecked is to normalize antisemitism as an everyday feature of life in this city.

    Earlier this week, Chief Superintendent Andy Singh joined members of the Jewish Security Network (JSN) in the @JSNSecurity Integrated Security Operations Centre. Having a Toronto Police Service officer in the integrated security operations centre during the holidays and other times of increased community concern can strengthen communication and information-sharing between police and the community. This is just one component of broader work underway and increased police visibility across the city to support community safety.

    Officers have arrested four adults and four youths in connection with a stolen vehicle and firearms investigation, seizing a loaded AR-15-style rifle. This brings the total to 349 crime guns seized in 2026 so far. Every illegal firearm taken off our streets is one less that can be used to cause harm. Great work by our officers to safely make these arrests and make our communities safer. More info: https://t.co/aIp9dk0L3H

What is Toronto Police's engagement rate on X?
Toronto Police (@TorontoPolice) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 109 original posts from the last 30 days against 439,514 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.004%, Toronto Police sits above the 10th percentile of the 202,467 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @TorontoPolice have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 24% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,182 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @TorontoPolice post?
Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.87 posts per day across the measured window.
