Lacombe Police Service Chief Gary Leslie is calling it a career after nearly three decades of serving the public.
Leslie steps down on May 31, 2013 after spending 29 years at the detachment. Leslie has been with the police service since 1984 and served as the police chief for the last five years.
Sgt. Steve Murray of Lacombe will take over the role of police chief for a three-year term.
He will work closely with Leslie during the transition period. Murray will assume the inspector position on Jan. 1.
The Lacombe Police Service will also begin recruiting to fill the vacated sergeant position by Jan. 1.
