Four Owen Sound police officers will be in Vancouver for the Winter Olympic Games in February.
Chief Tom Kaye says they’ll be part of the nationwide policing contingent.
On the list are Sergeant Mark Kielb as well as Constables Steve Beaney, Craig Matheson and Pat Rawn.
Many officers applied but only four were selected based on their experience and level of training.
Kaye says the RCMP is in charge of policing for the Games — but are sharing responsibilities with more than 17 hundred officers from across the country.
The Owen Sound officers will wear their normal uniforms while at the Olympics.
Chief Kaye says it will be a positive promotion for this city as well as an invaluable experience for the four men.
The Owen Sound Police Service will be reimbursed for the costs associated with sending the officers to Vancouver.
Constable Susan Hatt of the Saugeen Shores Police will also assist with security at the 2010 Olympics.
Constables Michael Boyko and Ian Sanderson from the Hanover Police Service will also be members of the Olympic force.
