When seconds matter, perspective is everything. 🚓
Aerial support helps us understand what is happening in real time.
It helps guide officers, coordinate response, and find people quickly.
Using cameras with Infrared (IR) Thermal Imaging, we can spot things that are hard to see from the ground.
Making things safer for both officers and the public.
These tools help us make better decisions, reduce risks and respond faster.
It’s just one of the many ways we are working to keep our community safe.

It is with profound sadness that I regretfully confirm that OPP Sergeant Brandon Malcolm was killed in the line of duty along Highway 401 in Cobourg this evening. We honour his service and bravery as we grieve this tremendous loss. We extend our deepest condolences and mourn alongside his loved ones and OPP colleagues across the province. #HeroesInLife

Last night, our officers and Mounted Unit were out at the Canadian Tire Centre fan zone ahead of the @SensNews_NHL playoff game—connecting with fans, enjoying the atmosphere, and helping keep things safe for everyone taking in the excitement.
As we head into Game 4 this weekend, we’re reminding everyone to stay safe, look out for one another, and plan for a safe ride home. Whether you’re watching at home, at a watch party, or heading to the game, let’s keep things positive and respectful.
We may be down, but hold your horses… there’s still plenty of hockey left, and it’s not over yet!
Go Sens Go!

Hier soir, nos agents et notre Unité équestre étaient présents à la zone des partisans du Centre Canadian Tire avant la partie éliminatoire des Sénateurs d’Ottawa — échangeant avec les amateurs, appréciant l’ambiance, et aidant à assurer la sûreté de tous ceux et celles venus répandre la fièvre du hockey.
À l’aube du quatrième affrontement, nous rappelons à chacun de demeurer prudent, de veiller les uns sur les autres, et de prévoir un retour à la maison en sûreté. Que vous suiviez la partie à la maison, en covisionnement virtuel, ou dans les gradins, gardons l’esprit sportif, positif et respectueux.
On tire de l’arrière, mais attention… il reste encore plein de hockey, tout n’est pas perdu!
Lâchez pas, Sénateurs!

Our @OttawaParamedic are heroes. They step into difficult and unpredictable situations daily to protect and serve our residents.
