Waterloo Regional Police Service Agency overview Formed 1973 Annual budget $140,000,000 (2014) Jurisdictional structure Operations jurisdiction Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada Size 1,382 km² or 533.59 sq mi Population 560,000 (2014) Operational structure Headquarters Cambridge, Ontario Sworn members 800 Elected officer responsible The Honourable Madeleine Meilleur, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services Agency executive Bryan Larkin, Chief of Police Divisions 5 Facilities Stations Headquarters; 3 Stations; 2 Sub-stations Website Waterloo Regional Police Service The Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) provides policing services for the Regional Municipality of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada which encompasses the cities of Waterloo, Kitchener, and Cambridge, as well as the townships of North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich. WRPS was established in 1973 to replace the individual police departments in the region. The cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Galt; Towns of Preston, Hespeler, Elmira and New Hamburg; the Village of Bridgeport and Waterloo Township had their own respective police department. The Townships of Woolwich, Wellesley, Wilmot and North Dumfries were under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Provincial Police. In 1991 Waterloo Regional Police Force was renamed with the current name. Organization Since December 12, 2007, former Deputy Chief Matt Torigian replaced retiring Chief of Police Larry Gravill. A position which Larry Gravill held since 1992. In 1991, to minimize the negativity associated with the word "force", the department changed its name from Waterloo Regional Police Force to Waterloo Regional Police Service. Headquarters Headquarters is located at 200 Maple Grove Road on the border with Cambridge and Kitchener. This site was chosen as it is geographically center to all the urban areas within the region. Waterloo Regional Police headquarters has a museum in the lobby complete with old uniforms, equipment and information on the departments prior to 1973.
