Constable Leroux

How long have you been a police officer?
I have been with the Greater Sudbury Police Service since January 1991.
I started as an Auxiliary Police Officer.

What is your favourite part of being a youth officer?
I love working with youth because of their optimistic view of the future. Their ideas and thoughts on the world are very inspiring and refreshing.

What made you decide to become a police officer?
I always felt a sense of duty to help people. Ever since I was in grade school, I felt for people who needed help; for example, seeing people being bullied upset me. I see my role not as an authority but a responsibility to the community I serve to make sure I treat my community fairly. I believe being patient is what makes a police officer an effective one.

I enjoy teaching at the local college, traveling, coaching my daughter's soccer team, and hanging around with my best little friend - my 10-year-old daughter.

What are a few of your favourite things?
My favourite things are cool people who are positive!!!! I love motorbikes, four-wheeling, snow machines, and sport cars.

What is your favourite book?
'Man's Search for Meaning' by Viktor Frankl. A quote from page 86 is: "We are all free. FREE to choose our attitude towards any set of circumstances."
