West Region OPP chief superintendent John Cain is pleased to announce the new detachment commander of the Huron County OPP, is inspector Jason Younan.
“I’m confident the County of Huron and the members of the Huron OPP detachment will be served well by their new detachment commander,” said Cain.
Younan was selected in concert with the Goderich, Central Huron and South Huron Police Service Boards as the successful candidate to replace retired inspector Chris Martin. Younan began his duties at the Huron OPP detachment Aug. 31.
The new Huron OPP detachment commander began his career with the OPP in 1999 serving with the OPP Auxiliary Unit. In 2001, he was hired as a provincial constable and was posted to the Essex County OPP detachment. He transferred to the Kirkland Lake detachment in 2005.
In 2007, he returned to Essex County where he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. In 2012, he was promoted to the rank of staff-sergeant at the Lambton County detachment.
Younan implemented the first-ever OPP Mental Health Response Unit when he was working in Essex County in 2012. He brings with him additional policing experience as a coach officer, breath technician, Scenes of Crime officer, front-line supervisor and detachment manager.
“I consider it an honour to be chosen as the detachment commander for the Huron County OPP detachment," said Younan. "I look forward to working with the dedicated and hard-working members of the Huron County OPP detachment while initiating new, and fostering existing, relationships with our many community partners that make Huron County such a safe and healthy place to be.”
