West Grey Police

West Grey Police is the police service for the Municipality of West Grey in southwestern Ontario. West Grey is an amalgamated municipality (in 2000), consisting of the former Townships of Bentinck, Glenelg and Normanby, the former Village of Neustadt, and the former Town of Durham. West Grey is geographically the largest municipality in the Grey County, with a population of approximately 12,000.[2]

West Grey Police was formed in 2001 after the disbandment of the Town of Durham Police. All serving members immediately became members of the new service, along with several new members.
