Cy Thompson, who has been with the force for 24 years, being promoted from Staff Sergeant to Inspector of Support Services.
Thompson says the promotion means he'll be in charge of the city's dispatch centre and victim services.
He says now is a great time to be a member of the Saint John Police Force, with the force transferring into a new police headquarters over the next 18 months.
Thompson is replacing Inspector Bill Hanley, who retired from the force last month.
Also being recognized this week are Staff Sergeant Stephen Patterson and Rothesay Regional Police Chief Steve McIntyre, who both received Orders of Merit from the Governor General.
