The Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) is pleased to announce the launch of ticket sales for its Inaugural Gala. The Gala is taking place at the Italian Cultural Centre on February 28, 2026. “This special event honours heroes and empowers community by raising funds for two remarkable charities,” said TBPS Chief Darcy Fleury. “The members of the Thunder Bay Police Service deserve to be celebrated. This community deserves to be celebrated. And these two vital organizations deserve our collective support.” The charity event will bring together community members in support of two valued local organizations: Special Olympics Thunder Bay and the Boys and Girls Club (BGC) Thunder Bay, while recognizing the dedication and work our officers perform in the community.

Passing of former Chief J.P. Levesque

December 12, 2025
The Thunder Bay Police Service joins our community in mourning the passing of former Chief J.P. Levesque. We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew and respected him. Chief Levesque dedicated more than three decades to policing in Thunder Bay, beginning his career with the TBPS and later stepping into the role of Chief in 2011. He served with integrity and a strong commitment to the people of this community. His retirement in 2018 marked the conclusion of a remarkable 31-year career. Throughout his service, Chief Levesque was known for his leadership, professionalism, and steady presence. His contributions to community safety will continue to be remembered.
