Toronto police to boost Pride security in wake of Florida shooting


Pride organizers and police plan to meet Monday morning to review security plans for the rest of the month's celebrations. Sidhu said the force's LGBT liaison officer has reached out to counterparts in Florida and to Pride Toronto to assess any threats. Toronto police plan to boost their presence at local Pride events following the mass shooting inside a gay nightclub in Florida that killed 50 people early Sunday, organizers say. "What happened has already changed what this Pride month is about," he said. @Torontopolice are actively reassessing the security of all #PRIDE events for the month so that Toronto can celebrate inclusively, safely — @marksaunderstpsToronto police have not made any other decisions about changes to Pride events in the city, Const.
