Today, IPA Canada would like to take a moment to recognize the tragic loss of Constable in Training Tyrone MAGBITANG.

While we did not know Tyrone personally, we know he was following his dream of becoming a police officer and dedicating his life to serving others.

The policing profession is a family. When one of our own is lost, we all grieve together. To Tyrone's family, friends, classmates, instructors, and everyone at the Durham Regional Police Service. Please know that our thoughts are with you, and the policing community stands beside you during this difficult time.

Please see the attached letter from our National President, Luis AGOSTINHO
