The Niagara Regional Police Services Board has a new Chair.
Niagara Falls Regional Councillor Bob Gale, who served as Chair for four years, is no longer chair.
Former vice-chair and provincial rep Ken Gansel has been selected to replace him.
Port Colborne Mayor Bill Steele will now serve as vice chair.
Former Chair Gale faced public backlash for his support on the buyout package of former Police Chief Jeff McGuire.
The buy out package cost taxpayers close to a million dollars when McGurie had years left in his contract.
McGuire says he intended to serve until his contract expired in 2020 but it was speculated that some board members wanted him out.
