Chief Bordeleau has served on the boards of numerous community organizations as well as co-chairing the Community Police Action Committee, which has provided him with an excellent understanding and rapport with Ottawa’s diverse communities.  Chief Bordeleau also has well-established, strong relationships with our public safety partners, including key strategic partners at the City of Ottawa.
