Today, we laid to rest #OPP Sergeant Brandon Malcolm, a distinguished young leader, and a loved and respected member of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Sergeant Malcolm served as an inspiration to others with his passion and positivity, and spent his entire policing career selflessly protecting Northumberland County. I am beyond grateful for the outpouring of support from communities and partners as we honour the life and sacrifice of our esteemed colleague.

Sergeant Malcolm, may you rest in peace.

It is with deep sorrow that I advise an OPP officer was killed while on duty along Highway 401 in Cobourg this afternoon. Our thoughts are with the officer’s loved ones and with OPP members during this devastating time, as we grieve the loss of one of our own.

As notifications are still underway, the officer’s identity will be withheld at this time. The circumstances surrounding the incident continue to be investigated. We ask that the public join us in keeping the officer’s family, friends and colleagues in their thoughts as we navigate this profound loss.
