Gerry Lougheed Jr. said that while the ‘paramilitary model’ of policing served its purpose, the future is with a ‘community-based model’ that’s ‘inclusive to all parts of the community'
“I have great passion for policing,” he told Sudbury.com after the nominating committee of city council elected him to the board during Monday afternoon’s meeting.
“We’re done lots and I’ve enjoyed it immensely,” she said, adding that city police, with Chief Paul Pedersen at the helm, have been making inroads with some communities that sometimes feel forgotten. Lougheed last served the police board as chair for a term that ended in 2015, when he resigned after being charged in an election bribery scandal following an investigation by the OPP’s Anti-Rackets Branch.
The city has been making strides toward this shift, he said, including the introduction of civilian members into certain positions instead of police, but there’s greater potential looking forward.
