Waterloo Regional Police Service names Bryan Larkin as new Police Chief

Waterloo Region’s new Police Chief is no stranger to the area, or to the role of Police Chief.

Announced earlier today, Bryan Larkin will lead the local force.

Larkin started his career here in 1991 before taking the job as Deputy Police Chief in Guelph in 2010.

He was then named Chief in 2012.

The soon to be 44 year old is on a five year contract – an exact start date is still being determined.

This leaves the Guelph Police service on the search for a new Chief. The board will be meeting on Thursday to determine a plan of action.

Former WRPS Chief Matt Torigian retired in April to become Ontario’s deputy minister of community safety. He had been Chief since 2007.

570’s Hayley Zimak spoke to Bryan Larkin about his new position:

 

People and groups from across the Region seem happy with they news and took to Twitter to congratulate Larkin:
