CRAIG BROMELL – President

Craig Bromell, President of The Building Union of CanadaCraig Bromell spent 26 years in dedicated service to the Toronto Police Service, where he crafted a solid reputation as a beat cop and Chief Union Steward at 51 Division. In 1997 he made the bold leap to President of the 7,500 member Toronto Police Association, a position he held until 2003.
In over a quarter century of service to Toronto and the rest of the nation, he became Board Director of the 25,000 Canadian Police Association (CPA), and Board Member of the 17,000 strong National Professional Police Association.

During his highly publicized command of the powerful Police Union, he was sought out by police forces across the continent; from Calgary to Chicago, and Texas to Los Angeles, he harnessed his leadership skills and bold persona to always seek out the best for the hardworking men and women that put their life on the line.

In 2006 Bromell was elected to the CANADIAN POLICE ASSOCIATION’S Hall of Honour, a prestigious honour shared with only eight other Veterans of Law Enforcement. Before entering the Television industry, he hovered at the top of talk radio with THE BROMELL SHOW, a show in which he hosted and saw him tackle the most difficult and pressing matters in a big city like Toronto. For four years on AM 640, he continually was the most listened to show on AM radio in his time slot. A major TV series was inspired by his police union career and from 2008-2010 CTV produced a series of 13 episodes of THE BRIDGE. Over 1.2 million viewers in Canada tuned in to watch the highly praised drama and it was distributed to over 40 countries worldwide.

Bromell returned to the Union Business in 2011 as a Consultant for CLAC, (Christian Labour Association of Canada) which after some startling success, led him to commit even deeper to the Union experience in Canada… In April of 2012, he launched THE BUILDING UNION OF CANADA, (BUC) a brand new union that aims to restore the pride and confidence in Union work once again.
