The Drum Major, Ottawa Police Service Pipe Band


This officer is Staff Sergeant Chris Renwick whom I know.

We both never guessed that the day would come that he and a CKCU logo would be together!


The Ottawa Police Service Pipe Band has been in existence since 1969 and was originally founded by serving Ottawa Police officers. It's purpose at the time was to promote the police service's public relations but even more to contribute to memorials for slain police officers. This mission continues today for the band, which annually plays at Canada's national police memorial service, as well as memorial services, funerals, tattoos, highland games, and parades across Ontario and the U.S. The Band wears the 'Red Ross' Tartan in honour of Ottawa's first Chief Constable, Roderick Ross.
