The search for a new chief of police is ongoing, with Greater Sudbury Police Service board selecting the recruitment firm Odgers Berndtson to aid in their search.
“The team from Odgers will be conducting consultation sessions with internal and external stakeholders,” according to a media release issued by the board.
“Following the consultation period, the Chief of Police job posting will be posted through Odgers Berndtson the week of July 15. The posting will be live for a month and will be a national search. Following the posting period, Odgers will present the Board with short-listed candidates and interviews will follow.”
The board’s goal is to have a chief of police selected by the end of September.
In the meantime, Deputy Chiefs Sara Cunningham and Natalie Hiltz will serve in the chief’s place.
Chief Paul Pedersen resigned to take the position of executive director for the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, and June 22 was his last day with GSPS.
Sudbury.com requested an interview with Pedersen regarding his departure, but he declined.
