The Peterborough Police Services Board has officially issued a national search for the Peterborough Police Chief position announced on Thursday.
Police enlisted Phelps Executive Search Group to aid in the search. The group has over 20 years of working with many Municipal governments including the City of Peterborough over the last five years.
Former chief Scott Gilbert abruptly retired on Feb. 7 and joined the force in mid-2018. Acting chief Tim Farquharson — a deputy chief for a decade — assumed the role following Gilbert’s retirement.
