Since then, he has served as a High School Resource Officer, a Detective Constable in both the Crime and Drug Units, was promoted to the rank of Sergeant in 2001 and in 2011 was again promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant, where he served as the Operations Manager at the Nottawasaga OPP.
“Inspector Tim Melanson brings a wealth of knowledge and community based policing experience to his new position as Detachment Commander of the Caledon OPP. His enthusiasm, motivation and dedication as a police officer speaks to the true police professional that he is,” commented Mayor Marolyn Morrison. “His reputation for possessing a strong work ethic is evident in all that he has done as a police officer and I am confident that the men and women of the Caledon OPP and our community will greatly benefit from his leadership.”
