Today @OttawaPolice cycling team was proud to participate in The Canadian Police & Peace Officers’ Memorial Ride to Remember, a 700-km bike ride in honour of officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their community. Heroes in life not death
These are some of the calls waiting in the queue this rainy Tuesday evening in West Division...this is not even an anomaly! Want to know the easiest way to "defund"police?! Have people stop asking for police.
A very important essay by Jonathan Haidt about the damage social media is doing to us:
"Thanks to enhanced-virality social media, dissent is punished within many of our institutions, which means that bad ideas get elevated into official policy."

R.I.P. Cst. Jeffrey Northrup #heroinlifenotdeath Our hearts go out to his family, friends and colleagues in the @TPAca & @TorontoPolice. Words cannot express how we all feel at this time.
@JillMSkinner @trish_fergusonp Thank you DC Skinner. I can assure you it was nothing compared to the daily acts of heroics and kindness from our platoon and comms people who still do the impossible even when put face-to-face with the worst of human nature all bc they take pride, not for the glory or mentions.
Classic bike!!! Great observations from @CstSebLemay Register your bikes folks! They have become hot commodity during the pandemic...and less volatile than cryptocurrency.
A bike enthusiast who will be known as ‘B.V.’ for the purpose of this story, was happy to get his favourite bike back after it was found downtown by an alert police officer.

I know someone will point out past violations from mistakes and structural and systemic issues, not that naive. Someone will even call police response a PR stunt but I still find it fascinating. We can celebrate progress despite past errors, can't we?!
I don't think there is any other country where legitimate government grants Police extra powers and Police unanimously responds with: "No thanks, we'll be adhering to the Constitution even in times of crisis". Only in Canada 🇨🇦 #veryproud 💙💙💙

We are able to release the name of our member who was killed while on duty late yesterday.
Sgt. Andrew Harnett, 37, joined the Calgary Police Service 12 years ago. He will be forever missed.
