Congratulations to Constables Joshua Allen, Eduardo Arevalo and Wayne Bridge, recipients of the John Atkinson Memorial Award of Valour.

Named in memory of Senior Constable John Atkinson, who lost his life in the line of duty, the Award of Valour recognizes members who display exceptional bravery while placing the safety and lives of others before their own.

On October 1, 2026 the recipients were honoured at the Windsor Police Service Chief’s Gala for their actions following a serious collision at Tecumseh Road East and McDougall Street, where two vehicles were on fire. Faced with an incredibly dangerous situation, they entered the scene and rescued occupants from the burning vehicles.

Their courage, quick actions and commitment to helping others exemplify the very best of policing.

The Windsor Police Association is incredibly proud to recognize and congratulate our Members, Constables Allen, Arevalo and Bridge on this well-deserved honour.

Congratulations, and thank you for your courage and service.

As we learn of another tragedy in our policing family the WPA extends our deepest condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of the RCMP officer who has died.

With recent tragedies involving members of the RCMP, Durham Regional Police Service and Hamilton Police Service, this has been an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking time for all of us.

These losses are a reminder that, regardless of the uniform we wear or the service we represent, we are one policing family. During times like these, we stand together, support one another and make sure our colleagues know they are not alone.

Please take the time to check in on your fellow members, your loved ones and yourself. Lean on one another, reach out when you need support, and offer a listening ear to those around you.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these tragic losses.

The OPPA has confirmed with our NPF brothers and sisters that one of their RCMP members has tragically died.

This is three police officers in Canada in three days we have lost.

The Windsor Police Association joins the policing community in mourning the tragic loss of Constable in Training Tyrone Magbitang of the Durham Regional Police Service.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Tyrone’s family, friends, colleagues, and all members of the Durham Regional Police Service during this unimaginable time of loss.

Tyrone’s dedication to a life of service, his commitment to helping others, and his dream of becoming a police officer are a testament to the kind of person he was. Although his time in policing was far too short, the impact he made will be remembered by those who had the privilege of knowing him.

We stand beside our fellow members in Durham and across Ontario as we honour Tyrone’s memory and support those grieving this heartbreaking loss.

Rest in peace, Tyrone. Your commitment to service will never be forgotten.

The Durham Regional Police Service is profoundly saddened by the tragic death of Constable in Training (CIT) Tyrone Magbitang, 27, who was involved in a motor vehicle collision while travelling to the Ontario Police College on July 7, 2026.

CIT Magbitang joined the Durham Regional Police Service as a Special Constable in May 2023. In April of this year, he took the next step toward achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a police officer when he was selected as a police constable recruit.

Tyrone was a compassionate, dedicated, and service-driven individual who believed deeply in helping others and making a positive difference in the community. Following his Police Foundations education, he pursued a career in public safety with determination, humility, and an unwavering commitment to serving those around him.

Although his time with our Service was far too short, Tyrone made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. He will be remembered for his kindness, professionalism, and the tremendous potential he brought to our organization. His loss is deeply felt throughout the Durham Regional Police Service and the wider policing community.

Today, CIT Magbitang will be transported from London, Ontario, to the Centre for Forensic Sciences (CFS) in Toronto. Loved ones and members of the Durham Regional Police Service will accompany him as a mark of respect and in recognition of his service and commitment to the profession he aspired to join.

On behalf of the Durham Regional Police Service, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Tyrone’s family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. We mourn alongside them and remain committed to supporting all those affected by this unimaginable loss.

We respectfully ask that the privacy of Tyrone’s family and those mourning his loss be honoured during this difficult time.
