A contest is underway for one lucky kid to be police chief for a day. The contest is open to all Region of Waterloo students.

“This is a great way to foster youth engagement and to encourage youth to think about policing in their own community,” Waterloo police Chief Bryan Larkin said. “We were so impressed by all essays that were sent in during last year’s contest and are excited to see what ideas are sent in this year. Involving youth in events like this is important because they play such a vital role in the future of our community.”
