The LaSalle Police Service is on the hunt for a new police chief after Chief Duncan Davies announced his upcoming retirement.
Chief Duncan will retire from the force as of October 1, 2024. Duncan first joined the LaSalle Police Service in 1996 and eventually took on the role of chief in 2021.
"I am very thankful to the LaSalle Police Services Board for having the confidence in me to lead our great organization. I will be forever grateful to have served as the Chief of the LaSalle Police Service leading our members as a team through the many challenges that police work brings. I truly believe that our Service has developed into one of the finest police agencies in the province due, in no small part, to a supportive and engaged community," said Chief Davies.
The LaSalle Police Services Board will begin discussions to find his replacement immediately.
"On behalf of the Board, we would like to congratulate Chief Davies on his retirement and thank him for his dedicated service to our community during his 33 years of active enforcement. We acknowledge the Chief’s accomplishments during his tenure ensuring that community safety was always a priority. His wealth of knowledge of the organization and LaSalle will be missed and we wish him a fulfilling retirement," stated Mayor Crystal Meloche, Chair of the LaSalle Police Services Board.
