Toronto’s police union has criticized Mayor Olivia Chow for her lack of public support after a rash of recent violence against law enforcement officials.
The Toronto Police Association (TPA), which represents nearly 8,000 uniform and civilian members of the Toronto Police Service, issued a statement calling on the newly elected mayor to publicly acknowledge the incidents.
“In the last five days, we have had a police officer struck and injured by a stolen car, officers shot at, and a police dog killed in the line of duty. Will Mayor Chow offer any words of condolence or support for our members?” the TPA said in a tweet issued Thursday.
