Acting Inspector Stephanie Patterson will be taking over as the Interim Detachment Commander starting August 12, 2013. A new Detachment Commander for Lanark County Detachment will be announced sometime this October. Acting Inspector Patterson is a 20 year veteran of the OPP and has a wealth of experience as an Operations Manager, working in the Provincial Communications Center, acting as a Regional Staffing advisor, and most recently acting as the Detachment Commander of Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Detachment.
