Waterloo Regional Police will be getting a new top cop on Thursday with the announcement of a new chief to be made during a police services board meeting.

The agenda has the meeting set to begin at 9 a.m. but failed to provide any further details outside of the hiring.

Former chief Bryan Larkin announced that he was leaving the position back in April after leading the service since 2014, having come over from Guelph where he held the same role.
