Second time in under 2 years that Premiers have had to pressure the federal government to take this issue seriously:

"Premiers send letter to feds demanding bail reform after homicide"

Really? Police are expected to be responsible for climate change now too?

Those most at risk from extreme weather events are often the most vulnerable in society, but a new campaign by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction is urging emergency services including #police to take preventative steps to ensure those in vulnerable groups do not fall victim to ‘natural disasters’, as Policing Insight’s Andrew Staniforth reports.

While I work from my mobile office this morning, I realized the big @WoundWarriorCA Ride for Mental Health is coming up next month! This year, Zare Paralegal Services will match every dollar raised for Wounded Warriors and donate it @CanadaBTB
Help me support 2 very important organizations by donating at the link below:

[Michelle Zare @ZareParalegal]

Last year we raised $5,530.00 for the @WoundWarriorCA Ride for Mental Health. If we do it again, that would mean $5,530.00 for @CanadaBTB too! We can do this! No amount is too small! You can sponsor my ride here: https://t.co/r6b8xERW5p

I thought police were the only public sector racists according to the media. Hmm.

@CTVNews If you're a municipality make sure you offer Amazon all the tax incentives they need to bring their shitty jobs to the outskirts of your town infrastructure and destroy your local businesses.

PTSD impacts not just first responders but also their families. This #PTSDAwarenessMonth, we acknowledge the quiet struggles of those supporting our heroes. Tina Renaud, spouse of a London Police Service member, John, shares her journey in a moving video from CBI Health.

Nearly half of the 124 people arrested by Ontario's carjacking task force were out on bail, police say, with many being released again after their latest arrest.

[Thomas Carrique @OPPCommissioner]

It is critically important to recognize police service members who have died by suicide, or #BecauseOfTheLineOfDuty, to ensure we remember and recognize the contributions and sacrifices they and their families made in life to the communities they served, and carry their legacies forward with respect, compassion, and fairness. This includes the risks they took to their own mental health and well-being, their own physical safety, and the toll it took on them, took, and continues to take, every day, on their families as survivors.

I was humbled to gather with police services from across Ontario yesterday during the inaugural Ontario Police Suicide Memorial ceremony, which was organized by @CanadaBTB and featured a Silent March and a tribute to fallen officers.

No one was meant to fight through adversity alone. First responders can access confidential, anonymous peer support 24/7 @BootsOTGround. Police members & families can access support at @CanadaBTB @BadgeLifeCanada @WoundWarriorCA. If in crisis, call the Suicide Crisis Hotline at 9-8-8 or in an emergency, call 9-1-1.

@DrLauraHuey If there ever was a call for a police officer on a flight you would see every cop on the plane put on a firefighter ball cap.

[LPS Chief Thai Truong @LPSChiefTruong]

Our organization had the honour of attending an incredibly significant event organized by Canada Beyond the Blue, with the support of the Police Association of Ontario, the Ontario Provincial Police Association, and the Toronto Police Association.

We gathered to commemorate our fellow officers who have tragically lost their lives to suicide because of the line of duty. These brave individuals deserve a formal memorial that not only acknowledges the impact they had during their service but also legitimizes the grief felt by those they left behind. The constant exposure to trauma in our line of work can take a severe toll on mental health.

Special thanks to Dilnaz Garda for her dedication, commitment and advocacy. And to @PresidentPAO, John Cerasuolo @OPPAssociation, @TPAReid, @TpaGrande, @RickRobsonLPA, @OPPCommissioner, and @TPSMyronDemkiw, for their leadership.
