The Halton Regional Police Service has a new deputy chief. Deputy Chief Roger Wilkie was sworn into the new role on Thursday, June 28 during a cere- mony at the Harbour Banquet and Convention Centre in Oak- ville. "It's truly humbling and an ho- nour to serve in that capacity," said Wilkie. "When you start policing I don't think you ever believe it is going to come to this. Through a lot of support and encourage- ment from coworkers and friends, and my family, things just kind of lined up this way. I'm very fortunate the (Halton Re- gional Police Service) board sees something in me and has the con- fidence in me to carry out this very important role." Wilkie's promotion follows the departure of former deputy chief Carol Crowe, who retired from the police service at the end of April 2018. Wilkie, who graduated from Burlington's Nelson High School, has called the Halton community home for 30 years. He began his career with the Halton police in 1996 and has served in uniform operations in all four of Halton's municipali- ties. He has also worked in the drug unit, mobile surveillance unit, homicide unit, criminal investi- gations bureau, domestic vio- lence unit and as an executive of- ficer to the deputy chief. Additionally Wilkie has served as the operations com- mander for Milton and Halton Hills, district commander for Oakville, critical incident com- mander for major public safety incidents and recently as the commander of emergency servic- es, training and human resource services. "Roger's career has been a re- markable one," said Deputy Chief Nishan Duraiappah. "With his promotion Deputy Chief Wilkie will now be respon- sible for the following areas of our organization. The regional investigative services, the intelli- gence bureau, the drug and mo- rality unit, human trafficking, polygraph, technological crime, domestic violence, the child abuse and sexual assault, homi- cide, forensic identification, frauds, corporate service, facili- ties, finance, fleet, purchasing, support services, communica- tions, courts and records, human resources, training, emergency services and victim services." Duraiappah said Wilkie be- lieves community safety and well-being is a shared responsi- bility and says the new deputy chief is committed to mobilizing and engaging the community and key stakeholders to ensure that Halton Region is as safe tomor- row as it is today. He said Wilkie also believes in the importance of collaborative and co-ordinated service delivery and said he was instrumental in the development of the Halton Region's Situation Table strategy and community safety and well- being plan. Wilkie is also a graduate of the police executive leadership pro- gram from the University of To- ronto's Rotman School of Man- agement. "Roger's qualifications are just an outcome of the individual he is," said Duraiappah. "Most of all, and I think all of us here will not deny that from the very first day Roger has al- ways been an outstanding police officer. That is the core of who he is." Duraiappah noted Wilkie's nickname around the office is the T-1000, a reference to the unstop- pable liquid metal character in Terminator 2. He said Wilkie earned that nickname through his work eth- ic, discipline and commitment to his job. Duraiappah said this commit- ment to Halton police is exceeded only by Wilkie's commitment to his wife and two children. Halton Police Chief Stephen Tanner also spoke during the cer- emony, congratulating Wilkie for earning this promotion, as he has earned every other promotion and achievement throughout his career with Halton police. "This one, as the others did, will come with not only daily challenges, but also with daily opportunities," said Tanner. "I want to tell you, and I will re- mind you from time to time, deal with the challenges and spend much more of your time and en- ergy on the opportunities." Tanner noted that as a team he looks forward to working with Wilkie to make the environment the safest it can be for the mem- bers of the police service and to make Halton Region even safer for its citizens. Halton Regional Police Ser- vice Board chair and Oakville Mayor Rob Burton thanked Crowe for her service and noted that with the dedication of Halton police, Halton will continue to be among the safest communities in Canada. After taking his oath of office those present heard from Wilkie who said his love of policing be- gan as a young child. He said a family friend was a highway patrol officer and would let Wilkie and other children play in his cruiser. "It is interesting I was hooked at such an early age. It was about lights and sirens and catching bad guys," said Wilkie. "As I grew up that dream of be- ing a police officer never really changed, but the idea of why did. Being involved in my community and giving back, that was critical to me in whatever my career choice was going to be. I was for- tunate the Halton Regional Police Service gave me a chance back in 1996." Wilkie said the police service is truly a brotherhood and a sis- terhood and vowed to leave the Halton Regional Police Service a better place than when he start- ed. "There is a lot of important work to do ahead," he said. "I look forward to the chal- lenges."
