Greater Sudbury Police Chief Paul Pedersen’s contract has been renewed until 2025.

The Police Services Board made the announcement in a news release today. The board called Pedersen’s service “exemplary.” Noting his tenure as president of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, the PSB said his work has ensured GSPS is “well-positioned” for the next strategic planning cycle.

“The board was unanimous in affirming its utmost confidence in the chief,” PSB Chair Lise Poratto-Mason said in a news release. “His open-minded approach and dynamic leadership style has brought life to Our Shared Commitment to Community Safety and Well-Being.”

Chief Pedersen thanked the Board for extending his term and confirmed he has made a long-term commitment to Greater Sudbury. 

“I look forward to continuing to work diligently for our city and to tackle important work ahead,” Pedersen is quoted saying in the release.
