Meet Our Recruiters
A/Insp. Andrew Thompson
I have been with the Delta Police since 2008 and have enjoyed my time exploring the many different aspects of policing. During my time as a police officer, I have spent time in Patrol, the Street Crime Unit, Traffic, Professional Standards, the Tsawwassen First Nation Service Team, and Recruiting and Development. It is the flexibility to explore multiple career opportunities within the policing field that has kept me excited about the profession.
One of my favorite experiences with the Delta Police was the time I spent being a dog quarry for the K9 Unit. On a personal note, I enjoy most sports and am hopeful that one day soon, the Toronto Blue Jays will bring back a World Series championship to Canada.
A/S/Sgt. Jason Formby
Prior to being hired as a sworn member with the Delta Police Department, I strategically leveraged my education, employment history and volunteer experience to position myself as a competitive candidate. Together, these three areas provided a well-rounded foundation of knowledge, skills, and abilities that supported me throughout the recruitment process and into the early years of my career.
Now in my 24th year of service, I have had the opportunity to work across a diverse range of units, including Patrol, Strike Force/Robbery, Street Crime Unit, Major Crimes, CFSEU, Community Support Services, and Human Resources. These experiences have provided broad operational, investigative, and administrative exposure which have contributed to my ongoing professional development.
The camaraderie and relationships I have built over the course of my career, while serving the City of Delta and its citizens, have made policing with DPD a highly rewarding and fulfilling profession. I look forward to sharing this career with our next generation of police recruit constables and reserve constables who are dedicated to serving Delta. What are you waiting for? Apply now!
Sgt. Michael Clark
Becoming a police officer was a dream come true. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to protect the community and chase "bad guys," and now I have 22 years of experience doing just that. I've had the opportunity to serve in a variety of roles over the years, including Patrol, Gang Enforcement, Major Crime Investigations, and now Recruiting. The job has been rewarding and fulfilling, and I look forward to hiring the next generation of police recruit constables and reserve constables.
One thing I have valued most about my career is that DPD has allowed me to maintain a healthy work-life balance. I have built a rewarding career while having time for the people and activities that matter most outside of work.
In my spare time, I enjoy travelling and camping with my family and staying active through sports—but baseball is life! If I could go back in time, I'd choose the 1920s to meet some of the greatest ball players ever to play the game.
Cst. Harprit Hair
I was born and raised on Vancouver Island. After high school I attended BCIT to complete my Diploma and then I attended UVIC to complete my Degree. While attending UVIC I started working for the Canada Border Services Agency as a Student Officer and that eventually led to me being hired as a full-time CBSA Officer.
I was first stationed in the Yukon and then transferred to the Vancouver International Airport. After 11 years with the CBSA I decided on a career change and applied to the Delta Police Department. I attended the Police Academy in 2014 and in my 10 years with Delta Police I have worked in Patrol, the Patrol Support Team, Traffic, and currently in the Recruiting Section.
Cst. Jessy Sahota
I have wanted to be a police officer for as long as I can remember, and I was honoured to join the Delta Police Department in 2017. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work in Patrol, the Patrol Support Team, the Violent Suppression Team, the Youth Liaison Team, and now the Recruiting Team.
Policing has given me so much more than I ever expected, it has provided lifelong friendships, strong community connections, and experiences that have shaped me both personally and professionally. I always tell new recruits that Policing is more than a career, it is a lifestyle.
I am grateful to now be in a position where I can help recruit and mentor the next generation of Delta Police officers. I also appreciate the department's commitment to supporting a healthy work-life balance, which has allowed me to pursue my passion for athletics. I have had the privilege of winning gold in wrestling at the World Police & Fire Games in 2019, 2022, and 2023. Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and competing in wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and kabaddi.
