Peel Region police say they're providing protection to the mayor of Brampton, Ont., after he and his family were allegedly threatened.
Speaking at an unrelated press conference, Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich says the force is providing Mayor Patrick Brown with security "out of an abundance of caution."
Milinovich says the alleged threats came from within Canada but declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing investigation.聽
He says it's not uncommon for police to provide protection to elected officials amid threats, calling it "an unfortunate reality."
Brown says he has "great confidence" in Peel police as they investigate.聽
He says it's not the first time he has been threatened, and expects it won't be the last.
Brown says the threats will not impact his work.聽
"I certainly want my family to be safe, and believe they are, but it won't change my approach to being outspoken about public safety and to do my job accordingly," Brown said.
