It is with great sadness that the Abbotsford Police Department announces the death of our officer, friend and colleague, Constable Allan Young.

Constable Young passed away peacefully last night surrounded by those who love him. 

Constable Young was born and raised in Dumbarton, Scotland.  At the age of 16, he entered the British Royal Navy as a Marine Engineering Mechanic, where he served until 1987. 

Allan immigrated to Canada in 1997 and joined the Toronto Police Service in 2000.

On March 2, 2004, Allan proudly joined the Abbotsford Police Department.  During his career in Abbotsford, he spent time in Patrol and the Drug Enforcement Unit.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our brother officer.  His smile, personality and character cannot be replaced and will forever echo in our hallways.

We extend a heart-felt thank you to our community for the support that we and Allan’s family have received.
