The interim chief of the Prince Albert Police Service isn’t leaving anytime soon.
The Prince Albert Board of Police Commissioners announced on Thursday that Patrick Nogier will be the force’s next chief, officially removing the interim tag.
Nogier joined the Prince Albert police on June 1, replacing Jon Bergen after he retired two weeks earlier.
“As we move forward, it is vital that we continue to have strong leadership for the Prince Albert Police Service who demonstrates professionalism and dedication to public safety. The Board believes Patrick is the right person for the job and is confident that he is both prepared and eager to meet the challenges associated with supporting the vision of the Prince Albert Board of Police Commissioners,” said Janet Carriere, chair of the Prince Albert Board of Police Commissioners.
Nogier previously served as the superintendent of the Criminal Investigations Division for the Saskatoon Police Service. He spent his entire 30-year career in Saskatoon before coming to Prince Albert in the summer.
He explained he was honoured to take on the role as interim chief, and said that feeling hasn’t left now that he’s staying on permanently.
“I am dedicated to leading this service with integrity, accountability, and a deep respect for the dignity of every individual. Together, we will strengthen our bonds, face challenges head-on, and create a future where everyone feels safe, valued, and heard,” said Nogier.
An official news conference to introduce Nogier as the new chief is set for Monday.
