Guelph has named a new police chief and he has deep roots in Waterloo Region.

Bryan Larkin, currently the Deputy Chief, will take over from the retiring Rob Davis in April.

Larkin began his career as a police cadet with Waterloo Regional Police in 1991 and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a superintendent.

Larkin left Waterloo Regional Police earlier this year, when he was named deputy chief in Guelph.

Chief Davis says “I am confident that he will lead the Guelph Police Service with integrity and courage, with a focus on community development.”
