Exciting news for public safety today in #Surrey! 🎉 The Surrey Police Service officially becomes the police of jurisdiction, marking a new chapter in community-focused policing. Here’s to a safer, stronger future together. 🚔👏 @surreypolunion @surreyps

Criminals did not get your message. Our communities are experiencing a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% increase in gun-related homicides compared to this time last year. What difference does your handgun ban make when 85% of guns seized by our members can be sourced to the United States? Your statement is out of touch and offensive to victims of crime and police officers everywhere. Whatever you think you’ve done to improve community safety, has not worked. @JustinTrudeau
Two years ago today, we froze the handgun market and stopped handguns from being bought, sold, or transferred anywhere in Canada. We choose your safety over the gun lobby — every time.

For the 2nd time in a week our @SPAssoc members are attacked. Crowd management is hard, stressful work. Great job in keeping the law abiding community safe during this event. saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/saskato…

Thank you to everyone who called 911 for help for our members trying to control a hostile crowd and reach a victim while being assaulted. This is just one example of how serious, complex, and dangerous the work is our @SPAssoc members do every shift. saskatoonpolice.ca/news/2024…

Replying to @CUPEsask
@CUPEsask we support your desire for safe workspaces for your members. The @SPAssoc members who respond to those violent calls are taking their expired contract to arbitration with the Saskatoon Board of Police Commissioners after 18 months with no settlement. #skpoli
This weekend, Saskatoon library workers voted 95% in favour of job action. They're fighting for better wages and safety on the job, and won't settle for less. We've got their backs. #skpoli #canlab

Thank you to our brave @SPAssoc members for this arrest. This criminal showed a complete disregard for our community’s safety in trying to escape. thestarphoenix.com/news/crim…

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Cst. Rick O’Brien, and the @npffpn members of the Maple Ridge RCMP who are dealing physically, emotionally, and mentally with this tragedy.

Thanks to Mr. Oleksyn for bringing his Plymouth Belvedere project car to Saturday’s SPA Barbeque. The look on the kids’ faces seeing the vehicle made it all worth it! #Plymouth

Good for them, great example of how interest based collective bargaining is supposed to work. Best deal is the one both parties freely negotiate! Winnipeg city council and police union agree to new contract winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg…

Congratulations to Tony Boensch who is retiring this month. Tony leaves as Staff Sergeant with @SaskatoonPolice, and also as a Director with @SPAssoc for over 16 years! All that, and he was my Field Trainer too! Good luck in your next chapter!! #saskfed

I don’t know who is running PAPS media but ENOUGH. Quit trying to further divide the executive and the membership. It is an exciting new area and we have to move on @PAPOLICEca
