OTTAWA — A platform which promises to take Canada’s violent crime epidemic seriously has scored the Conservatives a nod from Canada’s largest municipal police union.

On Tuesday, the Toronto Police Association offered its support to the Pierre Poilievre’s Tories, while sharing responses from Canada’s two major party leaders on what they’ll do to solve increasing levels of social disorder.

“It is clear to us there is only one party that has maintained a strong position on public safety issues and proactively supported police services,” the association posted on social media Tuesday.

“While our vote is with @PierrePoilievre and the @CPC_HQ, we will work with whoever leads the next government and we will hold them accountable as we continue to advocate for our members and the public.”

Toronto is the latest police union to throw their support behind the Tories this election.

Earlier this month, the Conservatives netted endorsements from the police associations in Peel and Durham regions, as well as Sault Ste. Marie — whose Conservative candidate, High Stevenson, is the city’s former chief of police.
