Our policing family is once again facing the unthinkable. Today, we stand united with the Montreal Police Service (Service de police de la Ville de Montréal - SPVM) after one of their officers was killed, and another officer was seriously injured while protecting their community.

Since June 9, our policing community has been confronted with unprecedented and deeply troubling violence. On June 9, OPP Provincial Constable Tarun Bali was struck and killed while on duty in Hearst. Only two days later, on June 11, Toronto Police Service Constable Marc Pinizzotto was shot and killed while executing a warrant. Yesterday, a Peel Regional Police officer was shot at in Mississauga, and overnight, two RCMP officers were seriously injured during a shooting in Melville, Saskatchewan. Now, we are mourning yet another fallen officer in Montreal.

On behalf of the OPP, I extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of these fallen heroes. Their loss is immeasurable, and we will ensure their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

Our officers continue to stand in our communities, protecting the public in the face of danger, and responding with courage, professionalism and unwavering commitment. But they cannot, and should not, stand alone. They need the full support of the justice and social systems, our partners and all Canadians. We owe it to every officer we have lost — and every officer who continues to serve — to do everything in our power to protect them.

Today, we remember. We stand together. And we remain resolute in our mission to keep communities safe.

It was our honour to join the community this past Friday and participate in the Grand Entry for the Indigenous Solidarity Day celebration at Victoria Park. It was wonderful to see so many people out to recognize, learn about & celebrate the history, heritage, resilience & diversity of First Nations, Inuit & Métis Peoples.
