He replaces Jeff DeRuyter, who announced in the fall that he would retire after four years as Guelph’s top cop and 35 years with the service.
Cobey has been a member of the RCMP since 1993, beginning with postings in rural communities and remote areas of northern Manitoba.
Most recently, he served as the Mounties’ employee management relations officer in Ontario along with their inspector and acting superintendent of the Criminal Intelligence Program.
Cobey and his family are long time residents of Guelph.
