“I want to extend my deepest sympathy to those close to Mr. Tyson. Based on experience, I am confident that BCI will conduct a very thorough review. Out of respect for the independence of that investigation, I am limited in my ability to comment further," said Canton Police Department Chief John Gabbard."I first want to send my sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Frank E. Tyson.
We will work to make sure the bodycam footage is released as soon as possible. My office has spoken with Mr. Tyson's immediate family to give them the opportunity to view the footage before it is released to the public. Incidents like these are always difficult and challenging for a community. The City of Canton has my word that this office will be transparent with them when difficult times arise. I have full faith in the leadership of Chief John Gabbard as we navigate these waters."
