It is shocking and appalling since these officers died for us.
Police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a person of interest who they believe is responsible for vandalizing the Ontario Police Memorial.
Police believe the attack to the memorial, located near Queen’s Park, occurred on June 20 around 7:42 p.m.
The memorial was created to honour Ontario police officers who have died in the line of duty.
The OPP released an image of a person of interest on Sunday.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told CBC the culprit used red spray paint to mark the memorial with graffiti.
“We are appealing for assistance from the public in identifying a person of interest,” the OPP said in a tweet.
Anyone with information is urged to call investigators at 1-888-310-1122.
