The Waterloo Regional Police Service is looking for a new junior Chief for its annual ‘Chief for a Day’ contest.

The contest, which launches April 25, is open to all Waterloo Region students in Grade 5 to Grade 7. Students are asked to write a short essay describing what they would do to make a positive contribution in their community if they were Chief for a day.

A winner will be announced on May 19, 2023, during Police Week in Ontario.

“The Police Service looks forward to receiving essays from our youth and hearing their ideas about how we can all work together to make Waterloo Region a better place to live, grow, and enjoy,” said Mark Crowell, Chief of Police.

Once chosen, the junior Chief will have the opportunity to get fitted in a police uniform, tour police headquarters, check out the inside of a police cruiser, visit our canine unit, interact with police officers throughout the day, and take part in a media conference.

Essays can be submitted to police headquarters, located at 200 Maple Grove Road in Cambridge, through our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram), or by email.

Essays must be submitted by May 15, 2023, and include a name and contact information.
