On behalf of the 8,800 members of @TorontoPolice whom we proudly represent, we would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support we have received in response to Constable Pinizzotto’s murder.   From our police association family to government officials, from the media to everyday citizens, thank you for standing with us and with Marc’s family.   To the dedicated staff at @Sunnybrook, our heartfelt gratitude. We know you did everything possible to save Marc’s life, and you then opened your doors to our members and Marc’s family. To patients and visitors who may have been inconvenienced by our presence, thank you for your understanding.   To our first responder family, including @Toronto_Fire, @TorontoMedics, surrounding police services @OPP @PeelPolice @DRPS @YRP, and staff and visitors @HRHealth and the Coroner’s Office, thank you for assisting with and attending yesterday’s procession.   Our collective hearts are broken, and we will continue to surround Marc’s family with strength and support as we mourn this tragic loss.

A statement from President @TPACampbell: It is with heartbreaking sadness today that we confirm the line-of-duty death of @TorontoPolice Constable Marc Pinizzotto. A valued member of our elite Emergency Task Force, our brave brother was fatally shot early this morning during a high-risk takedown. The TPA has been on site all morning with Chief Demkiw and other members of the TPS, supporting Marc’s devastated family and colleagues. Details of how this tragic incident unfolded, as well as any arrangements, will be available in the coming days. In the meantime, I want to ask everyone for their support. When most people were safely at home in bed, this officer left his family to make this city safer. Our members put their lives on the line every day. It is a devastating tragedy that Marc did not return home to his family today.

On behalf of our members, we extend our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of @OPP Constable Tarun Bali. Losing a member in the line of duty has reverberating effects across all police services and we stand with our @OPPAssociation brothers and sisters as they navigate this tragedy. #HeroesInLife

Today, we gathered with our policing community and @CanadaBTB at the Ontario Police Suicide Memorial to remember those we have lost because of the line of duty. It was a moment to reflect alongside the colleagues, family and friends they left behind. Together, in support of one another, we are stronger. Policing demands immense responsibility, unwavering commitment, and daily sacrifice. Thank you to every partner who helps protect the mental health of first responders and understands the weight of wearing the badge. We will never forget them. #BecauseOfTheLine

Today, the @SIUOntario invoked its mandate in relation to an incident involving our members and a cyclist who refused to stop for police. We will fully support our members throughout this investigation. As this matter unfolds, we encourage everyone to wait for all the evidence to come out rather than accepting narratives that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or driven by outside interests. As a reminder, when an officer tells you to stop, you should stop.

Last week, I attended a funding event for Ontario's first Post-Traumatic Stress Injury Centre alongside Brett Nicol, Chief Superintendent, representing the Senior Officers' Organization. Quality care at its finest for first responders. Thanks for supporting our members!

Our response to @TheBikingLawyer regarding recent media comments about our members’ actions. Regardless of mode of transportation, all road users are required to obey traffic signs and orders from police.

The loss of any member is deeply felt within our community. Today, we honour the life and service of Sergeant Thomas Warner, who will be forever remembered. #NeverForget #HonouringHeroes #BecauseOfTheLineOfDuty @TorontoBTB @CanadaBTB

Outstanding work by the @TPSHomicide & Missing Persons Unit, @TPS32Div, and all members involved in the extensive investigative efforts to locate Esther. This outcome exemplifies the very meaning of service and protection, with a family now reunited as a result of your relentless dedication, compassion and collective efforts.

More than 100 new hires joining us as we continue to expand our policing community. An exciting moment for everyone involved. Congratulations to all graduates!

🎙️President @TPACampbell joined @gregbradyx on @am640 to discuss the all-hands-on-deck, Level 1 search to locate missing teenager, Esther, as well as allegations involving off-duty members. Tune in to hear the latest.

The loss of any member is deeply felt within our community. Today, we honour the life and service of Sergeant Michael Pedley, who will be forever remembered. #NeverForget #HonouringHeroes #BecauseOfTheLineOfDuty @TorontoBTB | @CanadaBTB

🗣️ “We need to get serious about safety.” Don’t miss President @TPACampbell's monthly radio interview with @jerryagar1010 as he breaks down the TPA’s recent appearance before the Senate Committee on bail reform, the TTC changes we’re pushing for, and other key public safety issues impacting our city.

It was a wonderful evening at the Toronto Crime Stoppers Chief of Police Dinner yesterday, where the TPA joined members of the policing community and political leaders to celebrate another outstanding year of service. Public tips help our members do their jobs with professionalism and purpose. We’re proud to stand alongside our partners in keeping our city safe. Thank you again for the invitation and a memorable night!

🎥 Last week, President @TPACampbell appeared before the Senate Standing Committee to speak on the realities of crime in Toronto and why we support the passage of the Bail and Sentencing Reform Act (Bill C-14). Watch as he addresses problematic information gaps for offenders released on bail, how the existing system for sureties fails, and what needs to change for public safety.

Today, at the 27th Annual Ontario Police Memorial Foundation's Ceremony of Remembrance, we stood alongside our policing partners to pay tribute to the brave men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty. Every badge number represents an officer who embodied an unwavering commitment to safety. Every name represents a person who brought courage and dedication to their service. Our thoughts are with their families, friends, and colleagues as we honour the legacy they leave behind. We will remember them always. #HeroesInLife

Remembering Acting Detective James H. Watson, Badge No. 386, who lost his life in the line of duty on April 30, 1938, after a motor vehicle collision. Sadly missed and never forgotten. #HeroesInLife #NeverForgotten

With our letter to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Premier @fordnation in February, to our meetings this week in Ottawa, the TPA has long called on all levels of government to recognize the unique pressures our members face. Thank you to Minister @gary_srp for hearing us and investing directly in Toronto and in the safety and security of the City as we host the FIFA World Cup. But FIFA is one event in a city that faces these pressures year-round. It is our hope today’s funding announcement will be followed by others from both the federal and provincial governments.

🎥 Advocacy in motion. And we’re not slowing down. This week, the TPA was in Ottawa for the Canadian Police Association’s Lobby Days, meeting with government officials and making our priorities clear. Representing our members’ voices at the highest levels is a responsibility we take seriously, and we are proud to remain actively engaged in the political space. Through every discussion, we continue working to strengthen public safety across our communities. #TPAProud

A look inside our trip to the Canadian Police Association’s annual Lobby Days in Ottawa. From parole to funding for special events and demonstrations, the TPA Board proudly advocated on behalf of our 8,800 members. A strong week focused on collaboration and real impact!
