We express our gratitude to those who continue to work this case and the murder of Constable Marc Pinizzotto. Locating and arresting another high-profile target in this investigation is one more violent offender off our streets. We know our members will continue to pursue those responsible, at every level, and put an end to the terror that has impacted communities and our police family.

Remembering Constable Todd Baylis, who lost his life in the line of duty on June 17, 1994, after being shot while chasing down a suspect. Sadly missed and never forgotten.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

This multi-faceted investigative work by our members and policing partners nationwide is nothing short of extraordinary.

The identification, location, and arrest of those allegedly responsible for multiple shootings, including at the United States Consulate and in the murder of Constable Marc Pinizzotto, demonstrate exceptional professionalism and resolve.

In the face of profound loss, our teams continue to show unwavering strength, courage, and an enduring commitment to protecting our city. This work defines who our members are.

[Toronto Police @TorontoPolice]

We have made three arrests and seized two firearms in connection with multiple firearm discharge investigations across the GTA, including one at the United States Consulate on March 10.

One suspect will be charged with first-degree murder in the homicide of Constable Marc Pinizzotto. Another suspect remains outstanding in connection with the shooting at the U.S. Consulate.

As our community continues to grieve, the enormous outpour of support does not go unnoticed.

Listen to the latest from President @TPACampbell on CBC's @metromorning as we stand together to honour the service and sacrifice of Constable Marc Pinizzotto.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Once again, while most people were sleeping, another police officer was injured protecting this city. Thankfully, this time, the officer was able to go home.

We have 18-year-olds, barely adults, involved in the murder of Officer Marc Pinizzotto and now another serious incident. The fact that we could have lost another member due to the actions of a 12-year-old is beyond frustrating.

These incidents should concern everyone. The blatant disrespect for our members, leading to injuries and even death, must come to an end.

We recognize the SIU has a job to do and we will support our members throughout this process. However, it is also time to focus on the actions of those who are putting our members in positions where they feel the use of force is their only option.

A message to locals and visitors:

We’re glad you’re here to enjoy the World Cup but please do so safely.

Never put your hands on a police officer.

They will arrest you. You will be charged.

Our holding cells do not have TVs. You will miss the game you came to enjoy.

From our police association family to government officials, from the media to everyday citizens, thank you for standing with us and with Marc’s family.

To the dedicated staff at @Sunnybrook, our heartfelt gratitude. We know you did everything possible to save Marc’s life, and you then opened your doors to our members and Marc’s family. To patients and visitors who may have been inconvenienced by our presence, thank you for your understanding.

To our first responder family, including @Toronto_Fire, @TorontoMedics, surrounding police services @OPP @PeelPolice @DRPS @YRP, and staff and visitors @HRHealth and the Coroner’s Office, thank you for assisting with and attending yesterday’s procession.

Our collective hearts are broken, and we will continue to surround Marc’s family with strength and support as we mourn this tragic loss.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Thank you for the opportunity to talk about Marc and the realities that face our members everyday.

When the city is sleeping, working, playing, our members leave their families and put their lives on the line to make Toronto a safer place.

We will continue to stand by our members and support Marc’s family and colleagues during this time.

"We lost a hero. Marc was a hero. I was in bed when he was there executing a search warrant with these dangerous individuals, when we're all sleeping and put his life on the line." @TPAca President @TPACampbell discusses the line of duty death of a @TPSOperations Constable.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

A statement from President @TPACampbell:

It is with heartbreaking sadness today that we confirm the line-of-duty death of @TorontoPolice Constable Marc Pinizzotto.

A valued member of our elite Emergency Task Force, our brave brother was fatally shot early this morning during a high-risk takedown.

The TPA has been on site all morning with Chief Demkiw and other members of the TPS, supporting Marc’s devastated family and colleagues.

Details of how this tragic incident unfolded, as well as any arrangements, will be available in the coming days.

In the meantime, I want to ask everyone for their support. When most people were safely at home in bed, this officer left his family to make this city safer.

Our members put their lives on the line every day. It is a devastating tragedy that Marc did not return home to his family today.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

On behalf of our members, we extend our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of @OPP Constable Tarun Bali.

Losing a member in the line of duty has reverberating effects across all police services and we stand with our @OPPAssociation brothers and sisters as they navigate this tragedy. #HeroesInLife

[Thomas Carrique @OPPCommissioner]

It is with deep sorrow that I confirm that #OPP Provincial Constable Tarun Bali was killed in the line of duty this afternoon in Hearst. His courage and commitment to serving others will never be forgotten. As we grieve this immeasurable loss, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones, colleagues and the policing community.

🗣️ Making time for the important conversations.

President @TPACampbell reflects on this weekend's @CanadaBTB service honouring those we have lost because of the line of duty, recognizes the work of Director @TpaGrande, and highlights the efforts of our members during Toronto's Walk for Israel.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Today, we gathered with our policing community and @CanadaBTB at the Ontario Police Suicide Memorial to remember those we have lost because of the line of duty.

It was a moment to reflect alongside the colleagues, family and friends they left behind. Together, in support of one another, we are stronger.

Policing demands immense responsibility, unwavering commitment, and daily sacrifice. Thank you to every partner who helps protect the mental health of first responders and understands the weight of wearing the badge.

We will never forget them.

#BecauseOfTheLine

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

This Canadian Armed Forces Day, we recognize and thank those who have protected our communities and country. Many within the policing community have also proudly served, reflecting the strong connection between our professions.

Together, in service to Canadians from coast to coast, we remain committed to protecting, supporting, and strengthening our communities. 🇨🇦 #CAFDay

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Today, the @SIUOntario invoked its mandate in relation to an incident involving our members and a cyclist who refused to stop for police.

We will fully support our members throughout this investigation.

As this matter unfolds, we encourage everyone to wait for all the evidence to come out rather than accepting narratives that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or driven by outside interests. As a reminder, when an officer tells you to stop, you should stop.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

🎙️ Important conversations. Meaningful discussions. Every month.

Join President @TPACampbell on @NEWSTALK1010 with @jerryagar1010 for his latest check-in, covering recent criticisms, everything FIFA World Cup, and other issues affecting our members and the communities they serve.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

Remembering Constable William Boyd, who lost his life in the line of duty on June 4, 1901, after being shot while transporting prisoners. Sadly missed and never forgotten.

[Toronto Police Association @TPAca]

We are proud to support our members in the Hate Crime Unit as they continue to investigate incidents, follow the evidence, and hold offenders accountable.

The arrest of four additional individuals alleged to have deliberately targeted members of Toronto’s Jewish community with an imitation firearm sends a clear message: acts of hate and intimidation will not be tolerated.

These incidents are a concern to everyone. We are confident our members will continue to pursue this investigation and others diligently in their ongoing efforts to keep all Toronto communities safe.
