New Superior East OPP Detachment Commander, Staff Sergeant Kevin Fellinger
Local Ontario Provincial Police have a new boss - but a familiar face in the region.
Kevin Fellinger's been promoted to Staff Sergeant and Commander of the Superior East Detachment, which covers Wawa, Chapleau, Dubreuilville, White River, Hornepayne, and the surrounding region.
Noted to have developed "positive working relationships with community leaders and stakeholders across the Superior East Detachment area", Fellinger has spent his entire life living, working and volunteering in Superior East, starting his OPP career in White River in 2008, transferring to Wawa three years later, was promoted to Sergeant in 2017, and worked as platoon supervisor for two years before becoming Administrative Sergeant.
He's been serving as acting Detachment Commander since September.
