Peterborough Police Services Board made the announcement last Friday.

“On behalf of the board, we acknowledge Scott’s accomplishments during his tenure ensuring that community safety was always priority number one,” said board chair Les Kariunas in a media release.

Gilbert became Peterborough’s police chief in July 2018, after being a long-time member of the Toronto Police Service.

“Scott has led the service through significant changes over the past three and a half years,” Kariunas said. “His work in advancing police accountability, adoption of new technologies and creating efficiencies in police community responses have resulted in a well-respected police service by citizens throughout the City of Peterborough, Lakefield and Cavan-Monaghan. The Board wishes him all the best in retirement.”

Deputy Chief Tim Farquharson has been appointed as Acting Chief effective Monday.
