“Constable Northrup and Constable Russell were beloved members of our police family. Their tragic, senseless deaths are having a profound impact on our service, our communities and the policing community,” the South Simcoe Police Service wrote on its website.
The South Simcoe Police Service have also created an online book of condolences for community members to sign here.
Details of the officers' joint funeral service are still being finalized and will be shared once announced.
