Dennis Burn Will Be the New Chair of the Police Services Board
The 2nd district Police Services Board, which covers all of eastern Ontario, has elected the Carleton Place councillor, Dennis Burn, as its new head last January 15. Burn, who recently filed his nomination papers for the Deputy Mayor seat, was given the job during the board’s annual meeting which was held in Carleton Place.
Burn shall replace Hilda Docker, also from Carleton Place, whose current 3-year term as provincial appointee of the Carleton Place Police Services Board is coming to an end. There are 36 separate police services boards which fall under the District 2 committee and the local committee is only one of them.
As the current longest serving member of the Carleton Place council, in which he shall complete his 3rd term this October, Burn is very pleased that he would chair the Police Services Board. He said in an interview that it is an honor, in his point of view, to accept such challenge. The board, according to Burn, shall act as the voice of all the boards in the whole region when it comes to consulting the provincial ministry.
In addition, Burn said that Hilda Docker has done great work in her 6-year tenure in the office. He is pleased to know that there is someone with such experience whom he can draw knowledge from.
Burn shall replace Docker in June when her term as provincial appointee in the office will officially end.
