Jeff’s Passing A Profound Loss For Brampton: Mayor Patrick Brown
In honouring Jeff, we have renamed Northampton Park to Northrup Park-a gesture to ensure his bravery and service are remembered.
The recent verdict concerning Umar Zameer, charged in the death of Detective Constable Jeffrey Northrup, has stirred significant emotions in the Brampton community and beyond.
Mayor Patrick Brown, reflecting on this complex moment, emphasized the profound impact of Northrup’s passing, not only on his family but also on the city he served passionately. “Jeff’s passing was not only a tragedy for his family, but also a profound loss for our city,” Mayor Brown expressed, acknowledging Northrup’s dedication as an officer and his significant contributions to various community endeavors.
“Today marks a complex moment for our community. While the legal process has concluded with the acquittal of the individual involved in the death of Detective Constable Jeff Northrup, this verdict does not alter the reality for Jeff’s wife Margaret, their children Brennen, Samantha, and Mitchell or the Brampton community he so dearly loved. Jeff’s passing was not only a tragedy for his family, but also a profound loss for our city. We remember him as a dedicated officer, a loving father, an active community member through lacrosse, Scouts, and a long-time coach and supporter of the Brampton Special Olympics, ” he said.
Mayor Brown further added, “We in Brampton continue to stand with the Northrup family. In honouring Jeff, we have renamed Northampton Park to Northrup Park-a gesture to ensure his bravery and service are remembered. A plaque beneath a tree, chosen by the family for its strength and reach, symbolizes Jeff’s protective nature and his enduring influence. This park will serve as a lasting space for reflection and remembrance for everyone who knew him and for future generations.
