On behalf of @PeelPolice, I extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Cst. Marc Pinizzotto of Toronto Police Service, who was tragically killed in the line of duty this morning. For the second time this week, our policing community is grieving the loss of an officer who made the ultimate sacrifice. This is a reminder of the risks officers face every day to protect our communities, without hesitation and always with courage. Our thoughts are with their loved ones, the members of @TorontoPolice, and all those across our service who knew Cst. Pinizzotto as they navigate this loss. We stand with you in grief, in solidarity, and in honour of a life dedicated to serving others. #HeroesInLife
It is with deep and profound sorrow that we announce and mourn the loss of PC Marc Pinizzotto, 43, of our Emergency Task Force, killed in the line of duty today. Marc devoted 18 years to serving the people of Toronto, including 5 years with ETF. He was a courageous officer, a respected colleague, and a man who put others before himself. Today, a police family has lost their loved one, and our Service has lost a brother. The grief is immeasurable. Our hearts are with Marc’s family, his loved ones, and his ETF teammates. Our members will stand with them, now and always. A hero in life. See my full statement tps.ca/media-centre/news-rel…

I was in Caledon yesterday to welcome @407ETR’s $5 million donation to @RunnymedeHC, supporting the construction of two new specialized treatment facilities in Toronto and Caledon. This investment will help expand access for first responders to integrated care, improve outcomes and support long-term recovery.

The Peel Police Foundation marked a major milestone and positively impacted the lives of so many with its first-ever funding allocation: @BGCPeel, @EveryMind_CA, Free For All Community Services, @OurPlacePeel, @RootsCSPeel, and @SevaFoodBank.  These community partners play a critical role in supporting at-risk youth, and victims and survivors of human trafficking. Together, we are creating a safer, stronger Peel through innovative public police partnerships.

These arrests reflect the coordinated efforts of Peel Regional Police and our law enforcement partners across jurisdictions to disrupt these networks and hold those responsible accountable. Extortion is not confined to one region but connected both nationally and internationally. Addressing it requires strong cross-border collaboration and intelligence-sharing among agencies. We recognize the fear and harm this has caused, particularly within the South Asian community, and remain committed to put a stop to these crimes and keep our communities safe.

Outstanding work by @PeelPolice 12 Div officers, the impact of organized retail theft is felt across our community. This project sends a message to those involved in criminal activity that Peel is not open for business. A great example of collaborative, intelligence led policing.
🛍️ Over 500 Charges Laid in Retail Theft Investigation Project Filcher was a complex and targeted investigation combatting repeated offenders across Brampton and Mississauga. The results? ✅ 65 arrests ✅ 545 charges laid ✅ 350 theft incidents investigated solved ✅ $250,000 in stolen merchandise Retail theft isn't victimless - it impacts businesses, workers, and communities. Thank you to @ONSafety for the continued collaboration in combatting crime in our region. If you or someone you know has information on this investigation, call 905-453-2121 ext. 1233 or contact @PeelCrimeStoppers anonymously. Full story here: peelpolice.ca/news-feed/post…

The 2026 OACP Leadership Forum theme - “Leadership in Times of Crisis and Change” was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on individual journeys in policing, and the lessons learned through moments of change and growth. Appreciated the opportunity to be a part of this.
