We’ve already introduced you to the guy on the right (Constable Jeremy Burns). Time to meet the guy on the left (Constable Aaron Dale). Together, they created the @TorontoPolice Military Veterans Wellness Program.

The rest is history, with their Military Veterans Wellness Program now being rolled out in police services across the country.

As a teen, Jesse Weeks didn’t think he could become a police officer. He was small, after all, and didn’t feel “tough and strong,” as he thought the job required.

But then, in his senior year, he tried out for the football team — can’t hurt, right? — and he made it.

Oh, and did we mention he’s also a singer and songwriter? It runs in the family.

There was the pizza delivery gig in his ’76 Mercury Marquis. And his short-order cook duties at a local fast-food joint. But it was his time at the funeral home in his small Nova Scotia town that really prepared Paul MacIntyre (@TPSMacIntyre) for policing.

Such it has been that lessons learned in a small-town funeral home on the country’s East Coast have been passed down to officers patrolling the streets of Canada’s biggest city. Speaking of those officers, feel free to say hello.
