“We should always be looking at how we're serving people and how we can be doing better.” - DC Jeremy Burns.

Listen to how one of our members joined @TorontoPolice after his military service and helped co-create the Military Veterans Wellness Program, turning it into a global support system.

An inspiring story and incredible commitment to helping others on @globalnews. #RemembranceDay

Earlier today, Director @andrewnanton_ represented the TPA at Ontario's Ceremony of Remembrance at Queen's Park, where we paused to honour the men and women who served our country with courage and selflessness.

Every year, we gather in remembrance. Every day, we carry forward their legacy. We will never forget them. 🇨🇦

#LestWeForget #RemembranceDay

[Brian Callanan @TPACallanan]

The poppy is a powerful symbol of courage and sacrifice. Every Remembrance Day, we wear it proudly as we honour those who stood up for peace and freedom.

We will always remember those who devoted themselves to serving our country. Thank you for your commitment and bravery.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

When you join this family, you become part of ours. 💙

It was a pleasure to meet the loved ones of our newest recruits at Friends and Family Day. At the TPA, we know the weight of wearing the badge, so we work every day to support our members and the people who stand beside them throughout their careers.

You can always count on us to be there. #TPAProud

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

A hero's sacrifice will never fade.

Today, our Board of Directors stood in remembrance as PC Marc Pinizzotto's name was added to the Line of Duty Death Memorial plaque.

We will forever honour the bravery, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave their lives protecting our community. #HeroesInLife

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

The Toronto Police Association is once again deeply concerned by the latest alleged assault of one of our @ParkingTPS Enforcement Officers. Incidents like this are disgusting and completely unacceptable.

During the interaction, a PEO completed a parking violation notice and was then followed by the accused, who later exited his vehicle, assaulted the PEO and stole the handheld ticket machine. The suspect was subsequently arrested and charged.

We wholeheartedly condemn all acts of violence against public servants performing their lawful duties. Those who violate the law can expect it to be enforced. Our support remains with the affected member.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Crime prevention will always be a shared responsibility. 🤝

Yesterday, Vice President @TPACallanan highlighted the dedication of our nearly 9,000 members, who work tirelessly to protect our communities. They do it bravely, proudly, and without hesitation.

As we mark Crime Prevention Week, we're reminded that strong collaboration with Service leadership and all levels of government helps ensure our members have the support they need to serve effectively.

We're all working toward a safer Toronto. #TPAProud

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

The Toronto Police Association is pleased to learn that cop killer Craig Munro will remain in custody following today’s hearing at the Parole Board of Canada.

While we are encouraged that this serious and violent offender will remain incarcerated, we cannot stress further that the work is far from over.

The family of PC Michael Sweet was, once again, forced to travel across the country and read powerful impact statements. Victims and their families should not be repeatedly forced to relive traumatic events every time a convicted felon believes they should be released.

We will continue working with Minister of Public Safety @gary_srp, Secretary of State @rubysahotalib, and Minister of Justice @SeanFraserMP to advance our recommendations. This includes delaying parole eligibility to 35 years rather than 25 and holding hearings every five years rather than every two.

All Canadians deserve a system that values their perspectives and lived experiences.

You can't serve your best without feeling your best. That's where we come in. 💙

The TPA Wellness Team was proud to attend Wellness Day 2026 and meet with members. Know that our commitment to supporting you and your families never changes. This big blue family is always in it together. #TPAProud

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Remembering a hero through one of his favourite pastimes. 💙

The TPA was proud to see such an incredible turnout at today's memorial skate for PC Marc Pinizzotto. Thank you to our members for honouring our brother who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

We will always remember his courage and the impact he had on the community around him. #HeroesInLife #TPAProud

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

As Toronto’s municipal election formally concludes, the Toronto Police Association also extends its congratulations to all newly elected and returning members of City Council.

Our dedicated uniform and civilian members understand what it means to step up and serve Toronto’s communities without hesitation.

As Council pursues its vision for a stronger city, we look forward to bringing frontline voices and experiences to the table to help ensure public safety remains a top priority.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

The Toronto Police Association would like to congratulate Councillor @shelleycarroll on her re-election in Ward 17, Don Valley North.

We are eager to continue our collaborative efforts to improve policing in Toronto, and we thank you for your ongoing commitment to our members and public safety.

Your support has never wavered, and as a passionate advocate for the frontline and Toronto’s neighbourhoods, we hope you continue to serve as Chair of the Toronto Police Service Board.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

The Toronto Police Association congratulates Mayor @oliviachow on her successful re-election as Mayor of Toronto.

Maintaining strong partnerships with all levels of government remains a key priority for our Association, and the Mayor's Office serves as one of our most important municipal partners.

We look forward to continuing our positive working relationship with Mayor Chow and building on the shared progress achieved over the past two years.

By advancing public safety priorities and continuing to invest in policing, we can build a safer, stronger Toronto for our communities and the members who serve them.

Our city deserves nothing less.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Since October 13, we have been following the Inquest into the death of Regis Korchinski Paquet.

Yesterday, false claims were made against our members. We will not stand by and let their reputations, and the reputation of an entire profession, be tarnished by those seeking to rewrite history.

The claims made by Ms. Beals are not supported, in fact are contradicted, by the evidence. Over the next few days, counsel for our members and for the Toronto Police Association will vociferously cross examine Ms. Beals to ensure the truth is accurately reflected on the record.

To be clear, our members are not responsible for the death of Regis Korchinski Paquet.

Their actions have been reviewed multiple times by independent police oversight agencies, including the SIU, and they have consistently been cleared of any wrongdoing.

These facts must stand.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Earlier today, the TPA presented to the Leading Advocacy Executives Council on how we advocate for issues that matter most to our members and effectively communicate their needs.

We’re proud to share our insight and experiences with non-police audiences, while using this opportunity to explore new strategies to use in the future.

Thank you for the invitation!

[Brian Callanan @TPACallanan]

I had the pleasure of congratulating Sgt. Winston Laroche on reaching an incredible 50 years of service. A remarkable milestone for someone who has been a true leader in our policing community. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement on behalf of all of us at the TPA! #TPAProud

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

The numbers speak for themselves. 📈

Day after day, our dedicated members step up to serve our city and keep everyone safe. We're proud to see their efforts reflected with strong trust and support.

As they continue to have Toronto's back, we'll always have theirs. #TPAProud

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Undeniable heroics.

The SIU report confirms the extraordinary actions of our ETF members on June 11, 2026, who put themselves in harm's way to protect their team and the community, even as they lost one of their own.

Hear President @TPACampbell address the report on @am640 with @gregbradyx.
