Toronto Police engagement report
@TorontoPolice - 440K followers on X
Measured over 38 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 29, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 18 interactions against 440K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 38 original posts, its engagement rate beats 21% of 3,829 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 4.4K times each, and 0.416% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.01% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 38 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 89% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 326 interactions, about 18x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Toronto Police's engagement rate beats 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 29% 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 37,071 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 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.

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.

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 38 original posts from the last 30 days against 439,650 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 37,071 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 21% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 15:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.37 posts per day across the measured window.
