Regina Police Service mourning the loss of an officer

Members of the Regina Police Service are mourning the loss of Sgt. Ryan Ellingson.

Police said Ellingson died at his home due to health-related issues. He was a member of the police service for 15 years, serving in the Community Services Division on patrol.

In a Twitter post, RPS said Ellingson was described by his colleagues as a big influence, a true leader, a teacher and mentor, irreplaceable, humble, positive, dependable and approachable.

@reginapolice RPS has lost one of our best. To say Sgt Ellingson was a compassionate, intelligent and moral person is an understatement. He was a humble and supportive person. #tourcomplete708 pic.twitter.com/FncuDgoTr7
