WEYBURN - The City of Weyburn will hold the official swearing-in of its new police chief on Thursday, Sept. 5.

The ceremony will take place at City Hall outside the council chambers at noon, as interim police chief Brent VanDeSype will officially assume the role of police chief on Sept. 1.

He was appointed as the interim police chief after Jamie Blunden resigned his position on Aug. 10, as he was announced to be moving to Estevan to take over as their police chief this fall.

VanDeSype brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the position, and his transition from interim to permanent police chief reflects the City’s confidence in his ability to lead the Weyburn Police Service effectively.

Ron McCormick of the Weyburn Police Commission expressed the board’s confidence in VanDeSype.

“We are thrilled to have interim police chief VanDeSype step into the role of Police Chief. His leadership during his time as deputy police chief and interim chief has been outstanding, and we are confident he will continue to strengthen the Weyburn Police Service.”
