“I have always considered myself fortunate to be employed by the Town of LaSalle in service to the community. For me, the policing profession goes beyond a job – it is truly a “calling” doing what is right and leading by example. I believe that it is essential for the right person to be in the right place at the right time to do the right thing for the right reason,” said Davies. “I am very thankful to the LaSalle Police Services Board for their confidence and ongoing support in choosing me to lead the fine members of the Service as we effectively interact with one another in resolving conflict, building bridges and improving relationships while navigating our current and future challenges together.”
