FEMALE DEPUTY CHIEF for OAK BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Congratulations to Deputy Chief Chanin
“Sgt. Chanin has everything that the Oak Bay Police Department, and Oak Bay Police board were looking for. Really, she has everything a police department would be looking for,” said Oak Bay Mayor Kevin Murdoch.
“It’s absolutely significant. And it’s a result of a lot of years of changing the way that our leadership has done its hiring. And their willingness to be open in terms of the democratic process of promotion within.”
Chanin is now part of an exclusive company of just seven female deputy police chiefs in all of B.C.

Congratulations Ms. Chanin on your promotion. Struggling through our male dominated profession has always been a challenge with few rewards. Yours is the first for Victoria and we applaud your twenty two years of dedication, expertise and perseverance. Many more to follow!! My thanks to the BCWLE for sharing this great news.
