R.I.P Jeff from your friend Ray Ross (Banner hill Gang)😀

Jeffie!..Today July 2/2022  marks a year you were tragically taken from your dear family and friends and all your brother and sisters in blue,  and every soul you ever touched during your  amazing lifetime.
To know you was to adore you.
The sound of your contagious laughter and all your cartoon impressions and your beautiful heart will light my heart forever.
You were truly one of the finest officers that ever graced the halls of 11 Division.
To Jeff's family his legacy and light will live on in each and every one of you. This I know for certain you were all the light of his life. 
God Bless you all with strength and fortitude. 



memories of Jeff as a scout leader. His kindness and compassion were marks of his leadership.

Cannot believe it has been a year. Sorry for your loss Northrop family.

So sorry Aunt Diane. Been probably 40 yrs or more since I've seen Jeff. I'm glad he found his calling and was so respected in doing so.  Thinking of you and your family.....

I am so sorry for your loss, you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family. Mary Anne Daley

My sincere condolences to the family of Constable Jeffrey Northrup in this difficult time !! 


I've already left a message soon after the tragic news about Jeff
became public. I still can't get over the fact that Jeff is gone; such a warm-hearted, kind, funny, & generous man has been taken far too soon. It is my hope that he didn't suffer; that everything just went black. Jeff..I can still hear your voice; see your face, & never could I forget those famous brownies you'd make.
Margaret...although Jeff was taken far too soon, I hope you take
solace in knowing he is enjoying the peace he so richly deserves.
Someday, you'll be together again.
Jeff be watching over you, Brennen, Sammie & Mitchell and his Mom Diane.

Maggie, I'm so sorry for your loss and that of your family.  My heart and prayers to all of you.  I want to thank him for his years of dedication and public service.  

I have already left a note but wanted to leave another after watching the tribute movie, it was lovely and it is very clear what a good family man, father and husband he was.  God rest his soul.

Such a tragedy...so very sad.

Thank you for all you did for us..........

My deepest condolences to Jeff's family and friends.  His colleagues felt he was one of the kindest men to walk the earth, and think you should know that.

Maggie and family, 
I was in denial when I first heard, this could not be the Jeff I knew.  I can not imagine what you are going through. I remember Jeff at MWDC, through the ceremonial unit, baseball games, karaoke and beers. I remember you two connecting. 
Please know that you are in my prayers and my thoughts are with you and your family as you learn how to say good bye. 
He will be missed.

Words cannot express our sorrow for this senseless tragedy.  Our hearts and prayers are with the family.

Find solace in your memories they will comfort you as you slowly move on.

RIP and thank you for all you have done.💔💔



My condolences to Jeff’s family. I knew Jeff in high school. We were friends. He was a great guy, the “giant teddy bear” type. The kind of guy who was always there to lend a hand and listen when you needed an ear. I remember talking about our future career plans. I was struggling to figure out what I wanted to do. Not Jeff. He had a plan. He was going to be a police officer. He never wavered from that. I remember asking him why he wanted to be a police officer and didn’t he realize the risk. Jeff calmly explained that he felt it wasn’t a career choice as much as it was a calling. He talked about society’s need to protect those who needed protection, to stand up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves, and our collective responsibilities to each other. He spoke with such pride, passion and conviction that I never doubted he would achieve his goal. Like many high school friendships the connection faded once we graduated and went our separate ways.  However, looking at his face, I found myself stepping back in time. I remember a great friend, and an even better human being. One who had the courage to do what very few do. I can only imagine the pain that those who are close to him feel. My deepest condolences to his wife, kids, mom, family, and colleagues. To Jeff, thank you for your friendship, your bravery and your service. The world is a better place because you were here. Rest In Peace. 

Lots of great memories. Camping with friends, Scouting events, Potluck dinner planning meetings, Parking lot conversations sharing jokes and stories (many times)

There is one particular memory I would like to share. 

Jeff joined Cub Scouts for an Eco Spirit Hike at Blue Springs Scout Reserve in Acton, On.

There were lot of activities in addition to  the hike. We joined an activity  involving a hawk. The handler was talking with the youth and advised that he would release the hawk but they needed to be quiet and sit still. The hawk would fly around from tree to tree and when called he would return to him.

The kids were so excited to watch the hawk fly from tree to tree.  However, they got the  best laugh of the day when the hawk chose to land on Jeff's head and stay there! The cubs remembered this for a long time.  Each year we attended this hike, the kids that were at the original one always had a "remember when" moment and a good laugh. 

Jeff, it was an honor to know you, to work with you, to learn from you, to laugh with you.

May you rest in peace. It is well deserved. You will be greatly missed by many.

Marielle & Dave

really sad what happened feel really bad for his family RIP bud 

Words don't adequately express the feelings of loss. My condolences to the entire family. You are missed Jeff. God be with you and rest peacefully.

My son is with Toronto Police Services and I wish to express our families' condolences,Thank you for your many years of service and dedication, Mary Budd and family

I met officer jeff northup        
when I was on the streets  he was amazing person who cared for everyone he told me I could  become a person who cared about myself and not let people take me down the wrong path and I listen to everything he said and saw him a few years later and I had got married and had four kids as well as I went to hair dressing school  and got my licence and I told him it was because of what he told me many years ago  he is going to be missed by so many he was a hero to me


With shared sadness, I express heartfelt condolences to Maggie, Children and Family at the loss of our beloved husband, father and friend Jeff (rip).  As chaplain of 52 Division, I pray for God's comfort during this time of sorrow.  Psalm 23:4 reminds us that, "though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil". Through his courage of service, Jeff (rip) is no longer in the shadows, but is now in the "light" of his Lord and Savior. May he rest in peace!

God's continued comfort and strength,
Chaplain Rev. Wendell Gibbs 


I have been thinking about you the last few days, the words never flow fast or easy over the passing of a relative or friend close or distant.

Maggie and Family      I believe we never lose the people we love, even to death.  They continue to participate in every act, thought and  decision we make.  Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.   I watched you and Jeff meet, fall in love, marry, have children and further your careers enjoying your unconditional love for each other.  My heart is breaking for you Maggie!  Nothing heals better than the passage of time and I know your love for Jeff will give you the courage to move on.  My deepest condolences to you and your children .    

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Jeff’s family. I knew Jeff 35 years ago when we worked security for the Ontario Jockey Club! Great guy and we had many fun times on the ball diamond and our road trips to Lulu’s Roadhouse to watch many old school bands. Till we meet again! Rest In Peace my friend!😢

Jeff was a fixture and symbol at 11 Division. He was always happy, helpful and friendly. He did his job well, and he was known as a family man. This is truly the saddest of news. RIP. 

Jeffery, I am proud and extremely honored to call you friend & colleague.Your courage,passions for life,and unforgettable laughter will ring out forever.May God fill your familly and friends with prayers and love.

Big guy, bigger smile (more like a constant giant grin) proud, dedicated and very loyal.

To Maggie, Kids and Family - our thoughts and prayers to you all during this very difficult time.

Jeff - Your time to Rest has come, however, we all know you, and you will not - Watch over us Brother.

Mike Press 99152 

I was honoured to have the privilege to know & work with Jeff, through his Court Services years, as a Court Officer (1990-1999). His friendly demeanor & positive attitude was infectious. He was an awesome officer & an incredible person. He will be sorely missed by family, friends & a huge Policing, extended family.
R.I.P., my friend.

I knew Jeff when we were court officers together so many decades ago. He was resilient. I don't think there ever was a day that I witnessed him not being up to the challenge. So, in that spirit of remembrance, I will simply offer the following.

If dedication were to be defined as the measure of enthusiasm one exhibits when taking on a difficult task, as opposed to an easy one. I believe, from all these tributes, that Jeff epitomized dedication in all aspects of his life. If it is of some comfort to all his family and friends, may all of our collective grief, in time, be displaced by gratitude of having that time together.

Paul Miner (99261)

Dear Maggie & Family,

Maggie, 
I have been trying to find the words to express my feelings. 
I knew Jeff from A&D when he was a court officer. 
We could tell he was looking to find out more about you, our great jailhouse nurse. 
It was so awesome that you two married and had 3 beautiful children. 
I am not sure how you are handling this terrible loss with the kids. My heart has been breaking.  I have been thinking and praying for you all. 
He was a wonderful fellow. 
Just know your Corrections family and Police family are here to support you. 
To Jeff thank you for your service. You will be sorely missed. 
RIP 💙


Margaret,  Condolences to you and your Children.  
RIP Jeff, 🙏

Maggie,
You have always been a friendly face at work, your love for your family is undeniable.  I met Jeff at a lacrosse arena years ago, he also was a friendly face and shared that undeniable love for his family, it was very apparent.  While there just isn’t the right words….my heart aches for you, Brennan, Sammy & Mitchell.  When I think of Jeff I will always see his wonderful & genuine smile.  His legacy will live on, forever.  May you all find strength to guide you through the days ahead and know that your family in blue, as well as your lacrosse family, mourn with you.  Sending our heartfelt condolences, love and light,

Margaret and family, we were so shocked to hear of the sad news that morning. You are all  in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.   RIP Jeff.  

John and Anita McGahern.

Margaret and I worked at Metro West for many years and that was also how I met Jeff.  He was a Court Officer at that time.  
I was shocked when I heard the news about Jeff and can't begin to understand what Margaret and their 3 beautiful kids are feeling.  Please accept my deepest condolences and know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Mario Laforest, Correctional Officer and Katrina

I remember the day you were married and thinking how lucky you both were to have found each other.  It was so clear how much you loved and cherished each other as soul mates.  

When you introduced Jeff to our family, he fit right in, even during our crazy Soup-Off get togethers.  

Knowing that Jeff will always be with you in your heart, mind and soul will help you get through this challenging time.  Love you. ❤️

Maggie, 
Sending prayers and strength to you and your family as you navigate through this most difficult time. Cherish all your beautiful memories made together. Please know that your family in Blue grieve with you. My deepest condolences. 

Leeanne Atkinson 

So sorry for your loss, Maggie. When I heard the terrible news I was drawn back in time to 20+years ago when we all worked together at MTWDC and  I was a CO, you were a Nurse and Jeff was a Court Officer. I remember watching your friendship grow and then the beautiful wedding when that friendship became your forever story. You and Jeff were two of the most wonderful and amazing people I have ever known. It was a privilege and an honour to have known Jeff. The world has lost a precious light. 
My heart breaks for your loss. 
Lori

All the way from Winnipeg, Manitoba, my heartfelt condolences for you and your family.

We are all  so very proud of him!  Rest in peace, Jeff.

Margaret,

My deepest condolences to you and the children. Jeff was an amazing man and I am so glad to have known him.  It was always so great to see him at school being so playful and loving with your three amazing children.  My thoughts are with you and your family.

Leanne Zweep

So honored to have known you, been able to talk to you and watch you be the fabulous husband and Dad that you were. You reached out and helped my son with policing questions,. Jeff, you were truly a great person and the world has lost a good one. What I would give to see that big smile, hear that boisterous voice and share a laugh with you again. RIP. We will all do our best to support Margaret and your three amazing children. A beautiful family.

Sincerely, Maureen Malleck 

I was shocked when Wendy messaged me to inform me of Jeff’s passing.  Jeff was a wonderful person in body and soul.  He used to share recipes with me over the years and we always had wonderful
talks about food.  I still remember our trips to Costco.  We would eat our way through the store sampling everything in sight.
Sincerest condolences from my girls and I.  We all lost a special friend last week.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  May God give you all strength and love to see you through the darkest days and bring you some light in the near future.  RIP Jeff.  You were one of a kind.

Jeff,

Words can't describe your loss. You coached me from a recruit and often partnered me for six years on the road. You were always the voice of reason and made me the officer I am today. 

You had a smile on your face every single day and always saw the best in everyone. 

You truly made our platoon your home away from home. Treated us like family and always found a way to bring us closer together. 

You cherished your family and talked non-stop about them. You lived for your family and will always be a man to look up to. 

I'll carry you with me everyday and remember the best times we had together. I'll celebrate you the way you deserve...the way you earned. 

Thank you for always being such a gentleman. 

My condolences to your wife and kids.

You're a true hero in life my brother. May you rest in peace.

I first met Jeff when I was a minor traffic clerk and he worked for a traffic ticket agency. Then later I applied for a court officer and when I got accepted I walked into class and Jeff was there as well. We became court officers together. So many memories. My husband and I send our deepest condolences to his wife Margaret, his 3 children and his mom. He was truly a great friend and colleague. Rest in peace Jeff.

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.  We're here for you if you need us and we mourn with you.

Margaret, Diane, & family

Our thoughts are with you all.
Jeff was one of a kind.
 Carol and I have known Jeff from
early 80s and got to see him grow into

He just adored all of you.

I am proud to have called you my friend for over 35 years. We worked security together at Harbour Square before you became a JAFPO, which was your call sign. I will miss you my friend. 

END OF WATCH.

To the Northrup Family -
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the tragic loss of Constable Northrup. With four police officers in my family, I'm well aware of the dangers and anxiety inherent within this brave man's profession. I am so truly sorry. Do know my caring thoughts are with you, his family, and with the officer who was on duty with him.

Dear Maggie and family,
I remember when you first met Jeff as a court officer. He sent flowers to health care for you and we all loved getting his baked treats.   I still remember your wedding day.  Jeff was so excited when he became a police officer. He was a wonderful husband, father , and policeman.  My thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family at this difficult time.   
Linda 

Dearest Margaret, Dianne & Family:

I had the privilege of working with Jeff many, many moons ago at the Prisoner Transportation Unit (as it was then known) on “A” Platoon. The things I remember most about Jeffie were his warm heart, quiet demeanor, endless generosity, courage and infamous skills in the kitchen. After all the work was done, magical treats would randomly appear to be shared with his friends and colleagues alike. I was always amazed how Jeff found the time between shifts to whip up the variety of creations he often brought into to share.

Margaret: I still remember to this day, the warmth I heard in Jeff’s voice when he said your name “Maggie”. There is no doubt in my mind how much he loved you and I am certain that love extended to Brennen, Samantha and Mitchell as they arrived over the years that followed.  

Jeff touched the lives of so many people over his 31 years with Toronto Police Service, I am certain those who had the opportunity to know, and work with him will miss him greatly. 


Dear Margaret,

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. It is with great sadness that we learned of Jeff's passing. He will always be remembered as a kind and generous man. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Norma & David Sims 

Be like him

If you want to remember him, be like him
If you want to honour him, be like him

Always give more than you take
Step in and help, without being asked
Be kind, never argue
Smile, laugh, joke, there is always a bright side
Be there whenever you are needed
Love your family above all
Be dependable to your colleagues 
Welcome friends, and friends of friends
Be humble, never flashy
Be respectful to all, young or old, no matter where they come from.
Help your neighbours
Volunteer your time
Remember people by name
Take time to listen

The world would be a better place, 
If we could all just Be Like Him

Thanks for all the great memories that being your friend holds. 

I hope to always, be more like you. 

Gods speed my friend. 
💙🖤💙

Our deepest sympathies to the Northrup family. 

Jeff was just a great person to know and work alongside of. I knew Jeff from courts and  worked with him at 52 for 13 years. He always had a big smile and the time of day for you. He was a gentle giant and an officer that you loved to work with. He was professional and compassionate and the guy who loved his co workers. 

Jeff spoke proudly of his wife, children and their accomplishments and had the greatest smile when talking about the family vacations.

 I worked with Jeff in MCU during his first tour and PRU. An amazing officer who will be dearly missed

Rest in Peace my brother and friend. You paid the ultimate sacrifice

Love DC Brian Riggs and Family, Nichola, Brianna and Spencer

Dear Margaret, it was truly devastating to learn of Jeff's passing.  May the Lord hold you and give strength to yourself, Diane, Brennan, Sammie and Mitchell as you go through this difficult time.

I remember Jeff from the time at 2nd Bramalea Cubs.  My favourite memory of him was when he took the kids on a tour of the police station.  Jeffie's  sheer excitement at sharing the place he worked was apparent.  He locked the cubs up in the holding cells and paddy wagons, pretended he was going to feed poor Tristan to the police dogs in the padded suit and we almost lost a few cubs in the lake at their excitement with the marine unit.  However Jeff preserved even when the kids got really excited showing calm even when faced with a pack of cubs 😀 .  (A horde of 30 extremely excited 5-7 year-old kids is scary as any teacher will tell you) Jeffie was so exited to show the kids everything to do with policing he even played the part of a 'bad guy' with the police dogs.  I will miss his enthusiasm and the way he could make everyone share in his enthusiasm.   

Jeff was a gentle giant that we will all feel great loss for having him ripped away so soon.

May you find comfort in your family, friends  and the Lord as you go through this difficult time.

Maggie, I remember when we were chatting one evening at work and you told me how proud you were that Jeff had applied to join the Police. He was always friendly and chatty with me all those years ago and I thought then that he was a shinning example of what the public would expect a police officer to be so it surprised nobody when he was accepted. 
I was shocked when I saw the news and can't imagine the pain you are going through right now. Words seem so insignificant at this time but always know that he will never be forgotten and he worked all his life to make a difference for others.
My deepest condolences and prayers
John Hastings



Jeff was a gentle giant, in size, in spirit, and in heart.
I always looked forward to seeing come to our scout meetings and camps.  I enjoyed working with him in scouts and helping to mentor his sons. 
He was a good friend, a great father, and an excellent husband.
He will be missed greatly!

To the Northrup Family,

Sending our love, thoughts and condolences to you all during this incredibility difficult time. 
From one police family to another, Jeff will always be honoured and remembered.

Thinking of you all, 

Det Constable William Mitchell - 53 div & Family. 

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences go out to Jeffrey's family; especially to his wife and children and to his mother.  
I left 52 Division just prior to Jeff's arrival and did not have the pleasure of working with him.  
But, having heard from so many colleagues who did know Jeffrey, please know that he made a positive and lasting impact in so many people's lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
God Bless.  

Dear Margaret, Dianne & Family,

I was shocked and deeply sadden to hear of this tragic event.  I knew Jeff when he worked with us at Woodbine Racetrack for many year in security.  He was a kind and caring man.  Our deepest condolences to everyone during this difficult time.
