“I want to thank the police services board, and Chief Hugh Stevenson for trusting me with this responsibility.”

The inspector has almost 30 years of 30 years of experience with the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service (SSMPS), having worked extensively on major investigations, including Joint Forces Operations involving drugs and organized crime with other police agencies across the province.

“We are fortunate to have such an experienced law enforcement professional to promote from within,” said SSMPSB Chair John Bruno.

“On behalf of the Board, we congratulate Inspector Duguay on the appointment.”

Board officials said they are confident Duguay along with Chief Stevenson to continue modernizing the SSMPS and continue to provide community safety for the residents of the Sault and Prince Township.

The board said an official swearing-in ceremony for Duguay will take place later this month.

“I am truly honoured to be the next deputy chief,” said Duguay.
