Jack Marks (February 11 1927 – February 27 2007) was a Canadian police officer.
He became a Toronto police officer in 1951 after military service and a career as an electrician. Marks was working a night shift on December 31 1956, when police forces across the city united to become one. He served as chief of the Metro Toronto Police from 1984 to 1989. Marks was at police headquarters again on January 1 2007, despite his illness, for the force's 50th anniversary.
Marks helped mould the force's commitment to building community and fostering diversity.
He died from mesothelioma at the age of 80 in 2007.
