Today, @DRPS came together to honour and remember Constable in Training (CIT) Tyrone Magbitang.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined Tyrone’s family, friends, and colleagues to celebrate his life and recognize the profound impact he had on so many.
Tyrone’s kindness, compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. While his life was far too short, his legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the friendships he built, and the example he set.
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our policing partners who stood beside Tyrone’s family and the Durham Regional Police Service throughout this difficult week. In particular, we thank the Ontario Provincial Police (@OPPNews), London Police Service (@lpsmediaoffice), and Toronto Police Service (@TorontoPolice) for their extraordinary compassion, professionalism, and support. Your members went above and beyond, and your kindness will never be forgotten.
We also wish to recognize and thank Dignity Memorial, Oshawa Funeral Home, Scarborough Funeral Centre, and Embassy Church for their exceptional support in coordinating the visitations, transportation, and funeral services. Their professionalism and care were instrumental in ensuring these arrangements were carried out with dignity and respect.
To Tyrone’s family and loved ones, please know that you remain in our thoughts and that the DRPS family stands with you today and in the days ahead.
Tyrone will always be remembered as one of our own.
Please keep our fellow Constable-in-Training in your thoughts. We remain hopeful about their continued recovery.
Chief Peter Moreira

The Durham Regional Police Service is profoundly saddened by the tragic death of Constable in Training (CIT) Tyrone Magbitang, 27, who was involved in a motor vehicle collision while travelling to the Ontario Police College on July 7, 2026.
CIT Magbitang joined the Durham Regional Police Service as a Special Constable in May 2023. In April of this year, he took the next step toward achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a police officer when he was selected as a police constable recruit.
Tyrone was a compassionate, dedicated, and service-driven individual who believed deeply in helping others and making a positive difference in the community. Following his Police Foundations education, he pursued a career in public safety with determination, humility, and an unwavering commitment to serving those around him.
Although his time with our Service was far too short, Tyrone made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. He will be remembered for his kindness, professionalism, and the tremendous potential he brought to our organization. His loss is deeply felt throughout the Durham Regional Police Service and the wider policing community.
Today, CIT Magbitang will be transported from London, Ontario, to the Centre for Forensic Sciences (CFS) in Toronto. Loved ones and members of the Durham Regional Police Service will accompany him as a mark of respect and in recognition of his service and commitment to the profession he aspired to join.
On behalf of the Durham Regional Police Service, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Tyrone’s family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. We mourn alongside them and remain committed to supporting all those affected by this unimaginable loss.
We respectfully ask that the privacy of Tyrone’s family and those mourning his loss be honoured during this difficult time.
