Toronto Police Association

The facts are facts. After years of defunding the police, new investments in policing with the Multi-Year Hiring Plan, combined with the tireless dedication of our members, have helped reduce crime. But we know there’s much more work to be done. 🎙️ Listen to President @TPACampbell address questions around safety in our city on @NEWSTALK1010 with @jerryagar1010.

Incredible, life-saving work by all teams involved in this international child sexual abuse and exploitation investigation. A total of 136 charges were laid, four children were rescued, and an offender is being held responsible for these heinous crimes. This outcome is a prime example of the power of global collaboration. We are proud to see the diligent and professional efforts of our members contribute to this successful investigation. Protecting children remains one of our most important responsibilities. Police believe there may be more victims, and anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 416-808-8500.

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

Thank you, @MayorOliviaChow, for recognizing the tireless efforts of our members, alongside our fellow first responders at @Local416 and @TPFFA. Toronto is a city we are proud to represent and one we are honoured to protect. We remain committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all who call it home. Together, even in the wake of violence, we will continue to stand strong.

🗣️ "Would you run towards gunfire to make sure people are safe?" As gun violence grabs headlines, President @TPACampbell reflects on the bravery of our members who step up when their communities need them most.
 Listen to the interview on @am640.

It has been a violent weekend in our city with multiple shootings and homicides. Each one has tasked our members from every unit and every division. Their dedication and professionalism can not go unnoticed, especially in cases where they ran towards danger to keep people safe. Last night’s street festival should have been a time of celebration, but when gunfire and chaos broke out, our members were there. We thank them for their courage.

The future of public service starts today. 🚓 This week, the TPA celebrated the launch of @SenecaPoly's Youth Community Academy, a new program designed to inspire and prepare the next generation of first responders. Alongside @cityoftoronto, @TorontoPolice, @Toronto_Fire and @TPFFA, we're proud to invest in educational pathways, share our experiences and provide mentorship opportunities that help build stronger, safer communities. #TPAProud #YouthCommunityAcademy #YouthLeadership

It was great to stop by and see one of the Mounted Unit's finest! PC Joel Houston is an integral part of the training cadre and a true pillar of the community. We, and the horses, are lucky to have you. Always a pleasure catching up. #TPAProud

The Durham Regional Police Service is profoundly saddened by the tragic death of Constable in Training (CIT) Tyrone Magbitang, 27, who was involved in a motor vehicle collision while travelling to the Ontario Police College on July 7, 2026. CIT Magbitang joined the Durham Regional Police Service as a Special Constable in May 2023. In April of this year, he took the next step toward achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a police officer when he was selected as a police constable recruit. Tyrone was a compassionate, dedicated, and service-driven individual who believed deeply in helping others and making a positive difference in the community. Following his Police Foundations education, he pursued a career in public safety with determination, humility, and an unwavering commitment to serving those around him. Although his time with our Service was far too short, Tyrone made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. He will be remembered for his kindness, professionalism, and the tremendous potential he brought to our organization. His loss is deeply felt throughout the Durham Regional Police Service and the wider policing community. Today, CIT Magbitang will be transported from London, Ontario, to the Centre for Forensic Sciences (CFS) in Toronto. Loved ones and members of the Durham Regional Police Service will accompany him as a mark of respect and in recognition of his service and commitment to the profession he aspired to join. On behalf of the Durham Regional Police Service, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Tyrone’s family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. We mourn alongside them and remain committed to supporting all those affected by this unimaginable loss. We respectfully ask that the privacy of Tyrone’s family and those mourning his loss be honoured during this difficult time. #heroesinlife

Earlier today, the TPA and our members joined the national policing community to honour the life and legacy of Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane of the @SPVM and the @FPPM_. In recent weeks, we have gathered far too many times to honour those who have died in the line of duty. Each service is a solemn reminder that police officers across Canada willingly place themselves in harm's way to protect others. Their ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten. #HeroesInLife

The Toronto Police Association extends its sincere condolences to the @DRPS and the @AssociationDrp following the tragic motor vehicle collision involving two Constables-in-Training. We mourn the heartbreaking loss of one member and are hoping for the full and safe recovery of the other. Our thoughts are with their colleagues and loved ones. Everyone who decides to wear the uniform is part of the Canadian policing family. We have connected with both Chief Moreira and President Tummonds to offer our full support during this difficult time.

Remembering Constable John B. Perkins, who lost his life in the line of duty on July 7, 1959, following a motor vehicle collision. Sadly missed and never forgotten. #HeroesInLife #NeverForgotten

Once again, President @TPACampbell spoke on @am640 with @gregbradyx about the deeply concerning and unacceptable violence directed at our members. Everyone who wears the uniform understands the risks that come with the job. That reality, however, does not excuse the targeted aggression our members continue to face, and those responsible must be held fully accountable. We proudly stand behind our nearly 9,000 members who put themselves in harm's way every day to keep our communities safe. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed.

The loss of any member is deeply felt within our community. Today, we honour the life and service of Chief John Chisholm, who will be forever remembered. #NeverForget #HonouringHeroes #BecauseOfTheLineOfDuty @torontobtb | @canadabtb

Successful, and most importantly, safe! We extend our sincere appreciation to every one of our members whose professionalism went above and beyond to ensure sold-out crowds could enjoy the FIFA World Cup matches hosted in Toronto. 👏

Remembering Detective Constable Jeffrey Northrup, who lost his life in the line of duty on July 2, 2021, after being struck by a vehicle during an investigation. Sadly missed and never forgotten. #HeroesInLife #NeverForgotten

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 We're proud to recognize and support our nearly 9,000 members who stand on guard for our country every day. To those working through the holiday and the heat, thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and service. Because of your commitment, our communities can celebrate safely. #TPAProud #CanadaDay

From crowd control to drone interceptions, our members are there. 🇨🇦⚽️ Listen to President @TPACampbell recognize the outstanding work of the @TorontoPolice during the #FIFAWorldCup as they help keep fans, players and communities safe while supporting a successful tournament. Tune in now! #TPAProud

Meet Bolt, our newest @TPSk9 police dog who wasted no time proving himself!⚡️🐾 After @TPS22Div officers stopped a stolen vehicle, the driver tried to escape on foot. Guided by our @comm911tps dispatcher, Bolt and his handler got to work, quickly tracking down the suspect inside of an oversized garbage bin (who was in breach of release conditions on previous car thefts.) Great job to all the officers and dispatchers involved, including our new star Bolt!
