Hundreds of first responders and members of the public turned out for a procession to pay tribute to a slain Ontario Provincial Police officer on Friday, as calls grew for the federal government to reform its bail policy.

The procession carrying 28-year-old Const. Greg Pierzchala’s body started at the coroner’s office in Toronto and ended in his hometown of Barrie, Ont. about an hour later.
