The Toronto Chapter along with the entire Roughneck Nation would like to pass along our sincerest condolences to the family, friends and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
On June 12th 2021 Constable Patton was following two suspects who were allegedly driving a stolen truck from Manitoba. Constable Patton initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle and was struck and killed while outside his police vehicle by the suspects in the truck.
Constable Patton died on the scene around 8 a.m., despite medical efforts from a member of the public.
The truck left the scene and was located in a rural area northeast of Francis. The suspects, a woman and man, were located and arrested in a field in the area just before 10 a.m.
Constable Patton died valiently in the line duty serving his community.
We will remember him, we will honour him and we will walk that blue line with him.
Rest easy Constable, we will take it from here.
Hero's in life, not death
