OPP Commissioner to Step Down

Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Chris Lewis is retiring from the force after a 35-year career.

Lewis will be stepping down on March 28th.

He joined the provincial police in 1978, beginning his career as a provincial constable in Kapuskasing.

He was appointed commissioner in August 2010.

The provincial government announced Lewis’s retirement yesterday, saying he has served across the province in a variety of front-line, specialized and management positions.

Just this past August Lewis was in Kenora and indicated he planned to fullfill his new three year
contract extension.
