Thousands of officers attend funeral for OPP officer killed in crash

Thousands of police officers and emergency workers gathered in Cobourg, Ont., for the private funeral of OPP Sgt. Brandon Malcolm, who died in a singlevehicle crash on Highway 401 last week. Family members, colleagues and public officials remembered Malcolm as a dedicated officer and veteran whose service included time with the Canadian Army, Toronto police and the OPP. Speakers at the service described him as a caring and energetic person who had a strong commitment to public service. The ceremony included a procession of officers on foot and motorcycles, a Canadian flag displayed above the venue, bagpipes, and a final salute as the casket was taken away. The service was not open to the public, but it was livestreamed on the OPP's YouTube channel.
