[DRP Association @AssociationDrp]

On behalf of @AssociationDrp and our entire Membership we
extend our heartfelt condolences to the @OTTAWAPAca and to the family, friends, and colleagues of Sgt. Robert “Bobby” Cleroux, who tragically lost his life to suicide.

The average person sees 3 tragic incidents in a lifetime. Police Officers see approximately 6 per year. Policing is not a profession, it is a calling. Unfortunately, this calling can take a toll. If you are struggling, please remember you are not alone—support is available. We urge all our members to reach out if they need help.

Today, at Camp FITT a group of young women taking part in @OttFire Services’ Training.

Braving the heat and driven by a desire to help others, these future leaders are already demonstrating a deep commitment to serving their communities.

Well done Chief and team OFS!

In this family, no one stands alone.
