Staff Sergeant Gordon is looking forward to becoming a part of the community and leading the Greenstone Detachment: “I am excited to be in the North again and I look forward to being part of the community both on and off the job.  Northern Ontario has always felt like home to me and I look forward to using my time as Detachment Commander to develop and sustain partnerships within the community to prevent crime and victimization and to address social disorder in our community.”   

The Greenstone OPP would like to extend sincerest thanks to outgoing Detachment Commander Staff Sergeant Carl Pettigrew for his years of service in the Greenstone community and wish him all the best as he transitions into his new position as Detachment Commander of the Nipigon OPP.

The members of Greenstone OPP welcome Staff Sergeant Al Gordon and look forward to continuing to serve the communities of Greenstone under his leadership and benefiting from his years of diverse experience.
