@NiagaraMedics So sorry for your loss ♥️

It is with deep sadness we mourn the loss of one of the most kind, compassionate and genuine man many of us had the absolute honour of working beside. A superintendent, a friend, a volunteer firefighter and an incredible role model for anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Matthew Flannigan is wanted for multiple charges stemming from a traffic stop on July 22 in Burlington. Charges include Assault Peace Officer Cause Bodily Harm and Dangerous Operation. An updated photo is attached. If you have info pls contact us! bit.ly/44UbsCE

@AshleyFoxRPN @MPPKerzner @TorontoPolice So your saying he's doing a good job at his job then? But if it wasn't his job then he wouldn't be doing it. Can't say, but we appreciate anyone performing their role well.

@CUPE5089 @MPPKerzner @TorontoPolice Yup and the point still stands. Would he do it if he wasn't AG Cupe? I doubt it. That's why it's in the job description.

Today I signed the book of condolences for PSD Bingo at @TorontoPolice headquarters. K-9s play many roles in policing. They, like all dogs, enrich our lives and our communities. We will never forget him. #HeroesinLifeNotDeath

@AshleyFoxRPN @MPPKerzner @TorontoPolice #Leadership was my initial comment.

@CUPE5089 @MPPKerzner @TorontoPolice Sorry- for clarification is that leadership or is that his job description as Minister? We can agree to disagree.

@AshleyFoxRPN @MPPKerzner @TorontoPolice I guess we're going to agree to disagree on this one. The Soliciter General taking the time to support the officers here, who were shot at and lost a K9 partner, demonstrates he cares. A key leadership quality. You disagree?

@CUPE5089 @MPPKerzner @TorontoPolice No it isn't but I see who you represent.

This is true, and the #TTC has informed us that they will be reducing this coverage next week, meaning we won't have even 1 person avaliable all the time, despite our objections. We recently asked CEO Rick Leary to reconsider his decision👇. We've received no reply.

The union representing the TTC’s special constables (@CUPE5089) is calling to reverse recent staffing changes that they say may have hindered the response to the stabbing of a 17-year-old girl at an east-end station last weekend. Latest @CTVToronto: toronto.ctvnews.ca/stabbing-of-te…

@pothen I wasn't there, but it sounds like Toronto has some heroes here, including PSD Bingo. I'm greatful out members aren't going to be interacting with this dangerous criminal tomorrow thanks to their effort. 3/3

@pothen Then they locate the suspect, get shot at (while doing their job) the police service dog gets killed by the suspect in the process, and the officers manage to shoot, subdue and get the suspect medical treatment so he can go to court and face his accusers. 2/3

Why do Toronto Police Association members feel entitled to some kind of special, hero treatment that other public employees (e.g., sanitation, childcare, TTC maintenance workers) don't get? It's obnoxious!

@pothen True, but the suspect was shooting his gun at the officers as well while they were performing their jobs. It's not really contraversial that this is unacceptable and should be widely condemed.

@CUPE5089 This was a dog. No human was killed.

No words needed ! 😢 📸credit: @TorontoBTB #RIPBingo

What a beautiful dog Bingo was. According to this post, Bingo, the German Shepherd and his handler only joined the @TPSK9 unit this year and he was only 2 years old. A brave service dog and a hero. Condolences to Sgt Brandon Smith

@TPSMyronDemkiw @TPSK9 We can only imagine how hard this is on your members, especially those involved in this incident. Thanks for keeping us all safe @TPSOperations @TPSK9 ♥️💙

Bingo, one of our K9s, was killed in the line of duty by gunfire tonight. Thank you for keeping our members safe and thank you for your service. My deepest condolences to his partner and to all of our @TPSK9 unit.
