Waterloo regional police have named former Guelph police chief Brian Larkin to the top role in the force.
Larkin, 43, began his career with the Waterloo force in 1991.
He became Guelph's deputy chief in 2010 and was named chief in 2012.
In Waterloo Region, he replaces Matt Torigian, who retired in April to become Ontario's deputy minister of community safety.
Guelph police will begin seeking a replacement for Larkin on Thursday.
