To be followed by Live Questions May 25th. 2023 Police Chief Cobey: Adapting Police Services to a Changing Society Presentation: “I want our community to be the healthiest, safest community in the province,” says Cobey. “I want our Service to lead by example when it comes to supporting our community and our members. We exist to serve the community, but we can’t do that if we don’t have healthy, resilient members.” That means having supports in place. But it also means ensuring the Service has adequate resources to meet the needs of a rapidly-growing community. Bio: When Gord Cobey began his bachelor’s degree at McMaster University, he already had an idea of the career he wanted to pursue.“I applied to the RCMP a few weeks after starting university and was hired shortly after I completed my degree three years later,” he remembers. “Policing was something I was interested in from a very young age”.As a youth, many of Cobey’s football and hockey coaches were police officers and he liked the idea of “engaging in an interesting and meaningful career with many opportunities to serve and support the community.”After seven years in Manitoba, Cobey and his wife – who were high school sweethearts -- moved their family back to Ontario, settling in Guelph where his wife had attended university. They have three adult children. Cobey continued to work for the RCMP until early 2019, when he was hired to replace retiring Guelph Police Chief Jeff DeRuyter. 10am.
