With the recent promotion of Superintendent Andrea Quenneville, and after a formal and competitive selection process, which included the participation of the County of Brant O.P.P. Detachment Board, Inspector McTaggart has been selected as the new Brant County O.P.P. Detachment Commander.

“On behalf of the County of Brant O.P.P. Detachment Board, I am pleased to welcome Inspector McTaggart to his new role of Detachment Commander and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with him to support the O.P.P members and staff who serve in Brant as well as ensuring the needs of our communities are met through proactive and engaged community based policing” said County of Brant O.P.P Detachment Board Chair Jennifer Haley. 

“Inspector McTaggart knows the County of Brant well having served in an Acting Inspector role before his recent and well-deserved promotion.  Having continuity and consistency in these important leadership roles is critical for the Board’s strategic direction and also for the County of Brant,” added Chair Haley.

Previous to this promotion, Inspector McTaggart was the Staff Sargeant at the Brant County O.P.P.
