New deputy police chiefs will be sworn in Oct. 9 continued from p.1 Burton said an internal and external search was carried out to fill the vacancies. He said he was proud the board was able to promote from within the Halton police service. "The board and I are confident Carol Crowe and Nish Duraiappah will maintain and build upon the legacy of excellence and integrity demonstrated by members of the Halton Regional Police Service, which is expected by the citizens of Halton," said Burton. Both Crowe and Duraiappah are residents of Halton. Crowe, 49, joined Halton police in October 1989. She holds a bachelor of physical education from McMaster University and has taken numerous policing courses through the Canadian Police College. She has been assigned to various patrol and administrative bureaus within the police service, most recently as commander of Oakville, professional standards and human resources. She also serves as a director with many nonprofit community organizations. "Leading in a police organization has many challenges, but I am confident that together with our dedicated team of sworn and civilian members, we will continue to provide our community with the effective police service they deserve," said Crowe. "I look forward to continuing to build upon the positive relationships we share with our community and working together to ensure Halton remains a safe place for citizens to live, work and raise a family." Duraiappah, 42, became interested in policing when he attended the service's Police Ethnic and Cultural Education (PEACE) program while in high school. He completed a degree in criminology and sociology at the University of Toronto, and is completing a diploma in public administration from the University of Western Ontario. He started his policing career in 1995 with Halton. Duraiappah has worked in numerous units such as the drug and morality bureau, as diversity co-ordinator, and uniform and investigative roles. He was also involved in the establishment of the region's first community mobilization and engagement strategy collaborative hub, which is being implemented across all districts. He is also involved in many community initiatives, both locally and internationally, and recently returned from a short-term mission to Haiti to assist in rebuilding projects. "I'm looking forward to working with our service members, leadership team, police services board, and the many community members and organizations who contribute to this being one of the safest communities in Canada," said Duraiappah. "Without a doubt, our citizens should know that they are policed by some of the best police officers and civilians within the field of policing -- this is what makes me proud, and allows us to continue to lead community safety initiatives and meet the needs of our changing community." Halton Police Chief Steve Tanner congratulated the two new deputy chiefs on their success. "I very much look forward to working with both of them on our senior executive team as we prepare the Halton Regional Police Service for the challenges of the future," he said. "... I am confident that both deputy chiefs Crowe and Duraiappah possess the knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes to contribute significantly to the future success of the service, and in doing so to the safety and security of all we serve." The swearing-in ceremony for Crowe and Duraiappah will take place Friday, Oct. 9. The local police board is a seven-member civilian board that oversees the Halton police service. -- with files from Tim Whitnell 3 | Friday, October 2, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Sore Feet, Sports Injury, Painful Ingrown Toenails?
