Lorilee Davies has been the acting Police Chief in the Queen City since April and replaces Farooq Sheikh, who was fired with cause in October.

Davies is Regina’s 16th police chief and has been with the Police Service for nearly 30 years, serving in both uniform and plainclothes divisions. She has provided leadership in community-based and human-resource sections of the Service and has been a member of both the Public Safety and Crisis Negotiations teams.

Her appointment is effective immediately with an official swearing-in ceremony slated for early in the new year.
