The passing of PC Marc Pinizzotto is felt deeply across Toronto’s emergency services community. Our hearts are with PC Pinizzotto’s family, friends, and colleagues as they grieve this devastating tragedy. @TorontoMedics stands beside @TorontoPolice in solidarity and support.
It is with deep and profound sorrow that we announce and mourn the loss of PC Marc Pinizzotto, 43, of our Emergency Task Force, killed in the line of duty today.
Marc devoted 18 years to serving the people of Toronto, including 5 years with ETF. He was a courageous officer, a respected colleague, and a man who put others before himself.
Today, a police family has lost their loved one, and our Service has lost a brother. The grief is immeasurable.
Our hearts are with Marc’s family, his loved ones, and his ETF teammates. Our members will stand with them, now and always.
A hero in life.
