The Kawartha Lakes Police Service has welcomed its newest officer — who also happens to be a Lindsay native.
Nolan Dunn was sworn in on Monday (August 9) as a uniformed patrol constable, after graduating from the Ontario Police College and serving as a court officer.
“Please join us in welcoming our newest officer here at the City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service,” reads a Facebook post.
Before pursuing his police career, the 25-year-old played hockey for various minor and junior teams in Ontario between 2010 to 2017.
Both policing and hockey run in the Dunn family. Nolan’s father is John Dunn, also a police officer, and his stepbrother is NHL player Vince Dunn.
Vince played for the Central Ontario Wolves and Peterborough Petes before being drafted to the NHL. After four years with the St. Louis Blues, including that team’s Stanley Cup winning season in 2019, the defenceman now plays with the new NHL expansion team the Seattle Kraken, having just signed a two-year $8-million deal with the team last week.
