"The Peel Police Servic- es Board launched its pro- cess to find a new full-time chief of police to lead the organization earlier this year," he said in an email. "This process will contin- ue through the summer, and the board expects to announce a new full-time chief of police later this year." Duraiappah hasn't re- plied to multiple requests seeking comment on whether he is interested in being Peel's next chief of police, or whether he has been shortlisted. An automated email stating Duraiappah is away until Aug. 6 was re- ceived after Inside Halton reached out to the high- ranking officer Monday, July 29. Halton regional police Const. Steve Elms, a spokesperson for the force, also had little to say about news that Duraiappah is being considered for chief of police in Peel. "We are not aware of such information, thus we are not in a position to pro- vide comment," he said. It was revealed late last year that Duraiappah was eyeing the top position in Peel. According to his online bio, he began his career with the Halton police in December 1995. He served several years as a consta- ble in uniformed patrol in Milton, Halton Hills and Burlington. He also served in the general investigative divisions of those munici- palities. In his role as deputy chief of district operations, the bio states, "Duraiappah has maintained a commit- ment to his community and is involved with sever- al sports and hobbies, as well as a volunteer board member for the United Way of Halton and Hamil-Way of Halton and Hamil-W ton, as well a South Asian Autism Awareness Centre in the GTA." Brampton Mayor Pat- rick Brown said last fall the next chief of police fac- es a significant task. "We have escalating crime, I've talked about some of the things that I be- lieve are important. I think how we handle the growth of mental health calls. The 42 per cent of Peel police calls are mental health-re- lated," he said in Novem- ber. "Having a chief with some experience on how that is best handled with- out diminishing police re- sources is important." NEWS Continued from page 12 NEXT PEEL CHIEF FACES A SIGNIFICANT TASK
