Chief Steve Tanner

For seven days straight, our team rallied together to walk 168 consecutive hours for The Unbreakable Link, raising more than $13,000 for Cops for Cancer - a partnership between first responders and the Canadian Cancer Society. As we hang up our shoes, we thank those who donated to this incredible cause. Together, we have sent a clear message to families impacted by childhood cancer: you are not alone.

The countdown is on! We’re just minutes away from kicking off The Unbreakable Link. The first of its kind to be held in Canada, The Unbreakable Link is a seven day, 168 consecutive hour walk/run in support of Cops for Cancer, a partnership between first responders and the Canadian Cancer Society that supports children with cancer and their families. It is created and spearheaded by Mike Duhacek, an HRPS civilian member and Founder of Help Me Bury Cancer. Our service is proud to support Mike, and the many families touched by childhood cancer in our community and beyond.

Being part of a community means getting people through their darkest days. During his brave battle against leukaemia, Zach Gibson served as our Chief for the Day in 2019. Today, our members were honoured to carry on his legacy by facing off against the Milton Winterhawks as part of the Zach Strong: Hockey vs Cancer memorial tournament, raising funds to support paediatric cancer research and families impacted by the disease. Zach’s mother Julie said: “Zach faced so much with a quiet strength that continues to inspire those who knew and loved him. We so deeply miss his big bear hugs and his beautiful smile.” “Sergeant Ron Ferlin was the liaison at that time and he couldn't have been more empathetic and supportive to our family by making Zach feel special and by telling us that we were, from then on, a part of the HRPS family.” “The support of HRPS, the Milton Winterhawks, and our community has helped carry us through the most difficult time in our lives, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who has stood by us over the years. Their continued support brings comfort and helps us find purpose in our loss, knowing that Zach’s life and legacy continue to make a difference.”

Here's #SomethingToKnow - police work doesn't stop when the cruiser is parked. Our officers spend less time inside a station and more time out in the community because cruisers are our constable's office on wheels. Using advanced technologies right from the inside of their cruiser, including integrated reporting writing software, GPS mapping networks, digital notebooks, in-car camera video, and e-ticketing systems, Halton Regional Police Service officers spend less time inside a station and more time out in the community, remaining visible and accessible.

As we commemorate National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize, reflect, learn, and honour the enduring strength of Indigenous Peoples. It serves as a reminder of all residential school survivors and we honour all of the children who never made it home, and who were lost forever to their families. As a police service, we are here to protect and we stand for community, inclusivity, and respect, and ensuring that we continually earn the trust of all the communities we serve.

Chief Stephen Tanner, alongside the HRPS leadership team and members from all ranks, are together as one community honoring our fallen brothers and sisters.

Our Service's sworn and civilian members are here in Ottawa to stand in solidarity with police services across the country as we remember officers who have fallen in the line of duty for their communities.   As the pipes and drums ring throughout the city and our Honour Guard proudly guides our team, we collect together during the Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial as a community to honour the memory of the brave women and men.
