“I Only Wanted to be a Detective: from small town high school grad to Commissioner of one North America’s largest police services.”

When I joined the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in 1978, I had no idea what career opportunities were available or laid ahead. My simple goals then were to work hard, become a Detective and to stay in Northern Ontario. However, the 36 years to follow were a whirlwind of assignments, travel, challenges and promotions through some significant investigations and large policing events, as well as some very dark days in OPP history.

This book is not about me, but is a walk-through time, through a series of interesting stories about people, places and events that I witnessed and sometimes participated in, that are largely buried forever in archived police reports. But they are stories about an organization that I loved being a part of, as well as people that I worked with and served – that I would’ve taken a bullet for, as well as the small part I may have played along the way.
