Two people from the GTA arrested this morning after a drug search warrant in Lindsay.Quantity of drugs, cash and a loaded handgun were seized. One of the men was also wanted for a shooting in another jurisdiction. Great collab with our OPP partners to ensure public safety.

Great work by all involved to interrupt the drug supply in Kawartha Lakes. Collaboration is so important in these type of investigations. These drugs are ruining lives every day. @klpsmedia is committed to taking these drugs off the streets and keeping our community safe.

On behalf of @klpsmedia we are thinking about the injured OPP officer, their family and colleagues. Thank you to all the police professionals who answer the call daily to take care of their communities.

Two tents were set on fire this morning in separate incidents. This type of behaviour is unacceptable and isn’t helping. Thankfully no lives were lost. Violence will not solve anything and will not be tolerated by KLPS. We need to work together to help all in our area @klpsmedia

Hearing news about a @TPSOperations officer being shot this afternoon. Police officers put themselves in harms way everyday to protect the communities they serve. Hoping for the best possible outcome for the officer and their family.

Just a reminder to all residents and visitors to Lindsay that the International Plowing Match is being held at the fairgrounds this week. Please plan your routes in advance and if you are traveling in that area you may experience traffic disruptions.

Big thanks to the staff and students at @LCVIinfo for building and dropping off a new picnic table at the station. We appreciate the partnerships we with our local schools.

Another example of the community and the police working together. A citizen called about a b&e in progress. @klpsmedia officers arrived in under 2 minutes and arrested two men inside. Further investigation revealed they had broken into 4 other businesses on their crime spree.

Congratulations to Cadet Williston on his graduation from the @opcva today. Very proud of Liam as he was selected to be the parade Sgt Major. On a date that will be forever remembered for tragedy, it was great to celebrate this achievement with him.

Such an honour to be sworn in as the 17th Chief of Police for the Kawartha Lakes Police Service today. There are many challenges ahead but I am confident that with the staff we have, we can overcome anything. #klps

Great work by our frontline officers yesterday! They arrested a man from Toronto who was already on bail for weapons and violent offences and wanted in Toronto for attempted murder from an incident earlier this year. Officers seized a large quantity of drugs and money from him.

Good morning residents and visitors to Lindsay. Just a reminder there will be some minor traffic disruptions today. Kent St W in the downtown is closed for the Classics on Kent Car show and the annual Milk Run starts at 8am. Please be patient and plan your travel accordingly.

Very proud to attend ⁦@opcva⁩ for today’s March Past to see Cadet Davis as he graduated from the Basic Constable Training program. Congratulations Joel!!

Insp Hagarty is a proven leader within our Service and community. This is a historic time for KLPS as Insp Hagarty is the first female officer to earn a promotion to our Senior Command team. Congratulations on your promotion. I know you will do great in your new role.

Great work by the officers on D platoon. Another great example of the community and KLPS working together to enhance public safety.

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators week. The dedicated staff in our KLPS communications centre are often the first point of contact for people in a crisis. Their efforts are an important piece of our response to the calls we attend. Thank you for all you do!!

Honoured and excited to be named the next Chief of Police for the Kawartha Lakes Police Service. Thank you to everyone who has sent well wishes and kind words. Looking forward to the next chapter.
