Hartnett was previously serving as Acting Staff Inspector prior to the role.

“I am pleased to extend my congratulations to Deputy Chief Designate Jamie Hartnett on his appointment, as well as my appreciation to the Peterborough Police Services Board for their continued support,” said Chief Stuart Betts of the Peterborough Police Service. “As a Chief who is still relatively new to the organization, having joined in January 2023, the appointment of a Deputy Chief from within the Organization will assist me to leverage organizational knowledge and history while building a new and exciting future.”

Deputy Chief Designate Hartnett will officially assume his new role on Jan. 9.

“I have had the opportunity to work closely with Deputy Designate Hartnett this past year and we will continue to work closely together to support the men and women of the Peterborough Police Service as well as the community,” said Betts.
