Niagara is losing another top official.
Niagara Regional Police Chief Jeff McGuire has announced his decision to retire
McGuire has informed the Police Services Board he will retire July 14th after serving the original five years of his contract.
In a release, the Chief says "I am incredibly honoured and humbled to have had the opportunity to lead the men and women of the Niagara Regional Police Service for the past five years. I could not have succeeded in my role without the support, loyalty and friendship of my executive team and I thank them for welcoming me into this organization and supporting me throughout my tenure.
Police Board Chairman Bob Gale says McGuire has left a permanent legacy of achievement and excellence as a standard for every member.
The board is expected to convene shortly to consider interim responsibilities and the recruitment of a new Chief of Police.
