It is with profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Glen Sonier, Badge #7660, a beloved and deeply respected member of our GSPS family.
For close to 33 years, Glen dedicated his life to protecting and serving our community as a 9-1-1 Emergency Communications professional. Since joining our Service in 1993, he stood firmly on what is often called the “thin gold line,” the vital connection between those in need and those who respond. In that role, Glen was often the calm, steady voice people heard on some of their worst days. With compassion, professionalism, and unwavering focus, he provided reassurance in moments of crisis and helped ensure the safety of both our community and our officers.
In 2023, Glen was recognized by the Police Association of Ontario with the “On-Duty Difference Maker – Civilian Police Service Employee” award, reflecting the dedication and care he brought to every call, every shift and every person he served. Those who worked alongside him knew this wasn’t just what he did; it was who he was.
Glen was an integral part of our policing family, known for his kindness, empathy, and ability to bring humour and light into difficult moments. He supported and uplifted those around him, leaving a lasting impression through the genuine care he showed to both the public and our team.
Beyond his role, Glen was a son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend whose warmth and generosity touched so many. His presence made a difference both on and off the line.
Glen’s impact on our Service and the community he served is immeasurable. He will be deeply missed, and his legacy will live on in those who knew and loved him.
Our thoughts are with Glen’s family, friends, and everyone grieving this tremendous loss.
10-7, my friend. Thank you for your service. We’ve got it from here.
