Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with our partners at the South Simcoe Police Services, our Paramedic Services team, our neighbours in the Town of Innisfil, and the loved ones and communities impacted by the tragic events of last evening. Together, as a County, we are here to support you.
Tragic incidents such as this are not common in our communities; however, this is an important reminder of how our first responders put themselves at risk each day to protect and serve our communities and residents.
The County can confirm that our Paramedics responded to the scene – we are offering support to our team in Paramedic Services during this difficult period. At this time, given the ongoing police investigation, we are directing requests for further information to the Special Incident Unit (SIU).
It is with a very heavy heart that we share with our County family that flags at facilities will be flown at half mast in honour of the two fallen South Simcoe Police Service Officers.
