Toronto police are planning to ramp up their presence in the downtown area during Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20.

TPS Media Relations Officer Caroline de Kloet told Narcity in an emailed statement that they will have additional officers patrolling the city on Wednesday.

"The Toronto Police Service continuously monitors security issues not just in Toronto but also around the world."

"In response, we make the appropriate adjustments to our plans in order to mitigate the potential risks to public safety."

This decision is in response to "the recent events in Washington D.C. and other areas of the United States," wrote TPS.

According to de Kloet, there is no identified threat to Toronto residents. The increased security will be preventative.

Earlier this month, two pro-Trump rallies took place in the city. The demonstrations were organized on Facebook by a group called Canadians For Trump.
