Management Team

Dear Nunavummiut and colleagues,

I am honoured to assume the role of Interim Chief of Police for the NPS. This mandate reflects a strong commitment to collaboration and the sharing of best practices in public safety between my home organization, the Québec City Police Service (SPVQ), and the NPS.

This mandate is, for me, a unique opportunity to learn about northern realities and to work with you in building a strong service founded on trust and respect. Nunavik is a vast territory, rich in its communities. Here, police work takes on its full meaning: proximity, solidarity, and the ability to make a real difference every day.

My professional background has allowed me to develop extensive expertise in investigations, governance, operational response, and strategic management. I firmly believe in the importance of inclusive leadership that supports high-performing teams dedicated to public protection and delivering quality service to citizens.

I am here with humility and a strong desire to listen, support, and work alongside you to meet our shared challenges. I am convinced that the greatest achievements are built collectively. It is in this spirit that I approach my mandate: as a team, with openness, respect, courage, and pride.

Sincerely,

Interim Chief of Police, Jean-François Bernier
