In what can only be described as another confusing press release from Cobourg Police, the service has announced retired Cobourg Police Chief Kai Liu is heading north to lead Ontario’s First Nations policing.
A release issued Friday stated that Liu was retiring, but would be taking charge of a service three times as large as Cobourg’s Police Service.
“After all appropriate notifications were made this weekend, the Cobourg Police Services Board can confirm that Chief Kai Liu will be retiring from municipal policing to lead Ontario’s First Nations policing as Chief of Police with the Treaty Three Police Service.“
“This new opportunity is full circle for me. Early in my career with the Ottawa Police Service, I worked closely with indigenous peoples and found the job to be quite rewarding. I am looking forward to again, engaging and building relationships with the indigenous communities within the Treaty Three Police Service,” says Chief Liu.
In a press release, Cobourg Police Services Board stated they are “pleased that Chief Liu will be bringing his vast experience and leadership to the northern communities within Treaty Three Police Service.”
Cobourg Police Services Board Chair, Dean Pepper supports his new role, “Treaty Three Police Service are very fortunate to have Chief Liu leading their large service which will allow him to get back to his roots and make a difference with the First Nations.”
