Rod Freeman will step down as Woodstock’s police chief at the end of 2014.
“It has truly been an honour serving alongside the talented and dedicated members of the Woodstock Police Service,” Freeman says in a news release.
“It has been both a very challenging time and a very rewarding experience as we worked through some extremely serious and important investigations.”
Freeman has spent seven years in Woodstock, first as deputy chief before taking the top job in 2009.
Prior to his arrival there, he policed other parts of the province, including stints as chief in Fergus and Orangeville over a 37-year career.
Freeman is married with two young sons.
The Woodstock Police Services Board says it will begin searching for a new chief in the next few weeks.
