There is a new person in charge of the Tyendinaga Police Service.

They issued a release on social media over the weekend saying that Sgt. Nathan Leland was taking over as Acting Chief of Police, effective Monday (May 25th).

POST – The Tyendinaga Police Service continues to move forward with its Board development plan as the Service transitions toward a standalone policing model.
As part of this transition, starting on May 25th, 2026, Sgt. Nathan Leland will be assuming the role and responsibilities of Acting Chief of Police.
The Service would also like to recognize Sgt. Chris Brinklow for his strong leadership and ongoing dedication to the community. Sgt. Brinklow will now be moving internally to oversee Supervisory Frontline responsibilities within the Service.
These organizational developments reflect the continued growth, professionalism, and long-term vision of the Tyendinaga Police Service as it works to strengthen community-based policing for the future.
