South Bruce OPP is welcoming its new detachment commander.
OPP say Inspector Keegan Wilcox took command of South Bruce OPP on July 3, and is responsible for policing in three municipal contracts and two municipal non-contract locations.
Wilcox started his career with the OPP in 2008 at the Huron County detachment and in late 2009, he accepted a transfer to the Kirkland Lake detachment in Northeast Region.
Police say he has worked as a platoon Sergeant at the Kirkland Lake detachment until his return to West Region with the South Bruce detachment in 2016. He also served as a platoon Sergeant, administrative Sergeant, and Acting Staff Sergeant with the South Bruce detachment until his promotion to Staff Sergeant with the Grey Bruce detachment in 2021.
Wilcox has been a qualified OPP Incident Commander since 2018 and is currently completing a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science Pre-Law from Lakehead University.
“I am extremely proud to have been chosen to lead the South Bruce OPP detachment as the new Detachment Commander. I am excited to continue the great work with our collaborative community partners and stakeholders. Our detachment has dedicated, highly skilled and professional uniform, and civilian members, who will continue to provide excellent policing services to the communities of Arran-Elderslie, Brockton, Huron-Kinloss, Kincardine, and South Bruce. We will continue to be responsive to community needs and we will continue to ensure that public safety remains our top priority,” says Wilcox.
