Criminals did not get your message. Our communities are experiencing a 45% increase in shootings and a 62% increase in gun-related homicides compared to this time last year. What difference does your handgun ban make when 85% of guns seized by our members can be sourced to the United States? Your statement is out of touch and offensive to victims of crime and police officers everywhere. Whatever you think you’ve done to improve community safety, has not worked. @JustinTrudeau
Two years ago today, we froze the handgun market and stopped handguns from being bought, sold, or transferred anywhere in Canada. We choose your safety over the gun lobby — every time.

So disappointing...Sgt Harnett hangs onto car & somehow that becomes a mitigating factor in favour of accused?🤦🏻‍♂️Calgary teen acquitted of first-degree murder in dragging death of Sgt. Harnett, convicted of manslaughter instead calgaryherald.com/news/crime… via @calgaryherald

The SSPA cannot express the immense feeling of sorrow after losing two of our own. Our members are currently going through a very trying and difficult time and appreciate all the support we have received within the last 24 hrs.#HeroesInLife .

Thanks to Waterloo Region Police Association's efforts this year at their annual WRPA Golf Tournament. $13,820.74 was raised to help kids thrive! The fundraiser has become a personal commitment for members to help as many children benefit from KidsAbility services. @Mark_Egers

Yesterday’s news has devastated the @TorontoPolice Service, as we mourn the line of duty death of Cst. Andrew Hong of Traffic Services. Andrew was a great person to be around. He will be fondly remembered for his bravery. Cst. Hong was a 22 year vet of Toronto Police.

It was a pleasure to show our support on behalf of the 1200 members of the WRPA for such a great cause.
We are stronger with community supporter Waterloo Region Police Association. President @Mark_Egers & VP Tim Reparon presented funds to help purchase an interactive whiteboard & bring technology for learning to KidsAbility’s school classrooms. #communitysupportforSTEM

Once again a bias headline by the WR Record against our members to sell news without a disposition. Shame on you Jeff Outhit for associating your name to that headline. I support the actions of Sgt Tranter to protect the public and other officers including himself. @OuthitRecord

Incredible initiative by this strong and determined young crash survivor. It has garnered great community support, including donations made by the Waterloo Regional, Guelph and Hamilton Police Associations on her behalf. @HPAHamilton @gpapres @Mark_Egers torontosun.com/news/local-ne…

April 5, 1970. Dave Balon - 3 goals. A Hat Trick. Jack Egers, Rod Gilbert, Ron Stewart - 2 goals each. Rangers 9, Red Wings 5. The most exciting regular season final day in NHL history. "9 Goals."

51 years ago: April 5, 1970. Rangers 9, Detroit 5. NYR grabs playoff berth on NHL's last day. Only time they've scored 9 Goals in last game. A truly unique day in league annals. See: "9 Goals." Via Amazon.
Cst. Ryan Salisbury's efforts to save a man's life in Cambridge last year have earned him a 2021 #PoliceHero of the Year award nomination for being an On-Duty Difference Maker. Thank you, @WRPSToday Cst. Salisbury, and congrats on the nomination! policehero.ca/ryan_salisbury

I have never been more disappointed in a sports franchise. First game - a great tribute to first responders but not one picture of Police personnel or acknowledgement of what the 1000’s of Police Officers do every day to keep our community safe. Shame on you @MapleLeafs
