The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) mourns the tragic loss of
37-year-old Provincial Constable V.D. (Vu) Pham of the Huron County
Detachment. Constable Pham died as the result of injuries sustained
during a shooting incident on March 8, 2010.
Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Constable Pham joined the OPP in 1995. During
his 15-year career he served in the communities of Parry Sound and
Cochrane and, finally, in Huron County. Constable Pham was an active and
dedicated community member and a family man who leaves behind his wife
and three young children.
Expressing the profound grief of the thousands of OPP members, Commissioner Julian Fantino said, “I am deeply saddened by the loss of this young, brave officer who was committed to protecting the citizens of Ontario. Pham was responding to an occurrence and doing what our people do every day in the line of duty. They take the initiative to respond to situations as they arise; he was just doing his job. Absolutely, it’s that pure. He was doing his job.”
