New inspector for 26th Division By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star Nancy Desjardine will make history next Monday as she steps into the top spot at 26 Di- vision. With her promotion to Inspec- tor on November 29, the 20-year veteran of Durham Regional Po- lice becomes the first woman in charge of a division.

The list includes a number of years in the Youth Bureau, Staff Sergeant of a platoon and involvement in intelligence. She also serves on numerous committees for Durham Region- al Police.
