As we continue to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Kensington Police Service, we’re taking some time to look back at the people and stories that helped shape our police service into what it is today.

This newspaper article takes us all the way back to 1959 and tells the story of Vernon Reeves, who served as a Kensington police officer and later Police Chief. Chief Reeves passed away in 2003.

While none of us serving today had the opportunity to know Chief Reeves personally, there is no question that he is an important part of our history. The officers who served Kensington before us helped build the foundation of the police service we are proud to carry on today.

It is especially interesting to read Chief Reeves’ words from more than 65 years ago and see both how much policing has changed and, in some ways, how much has stayed the same.

As we celebrate 100 years of policing in Kensington, we are proud to remember those who wore the uniform before us and recognize their service to this community.

Chief Vernon Reeves part of the history and legacy of the Kensington Police Service.
