New North Bay Police Chief Daryl Longworth joins Echo Essentials co-hosts Scott Clark and Dave Dale to talk about his background, why he took on the role after retirement in Woodstock, Ont. and his priorities.

Longworth, who made a presentation to council June 4, explained how high-profile cases in southern Ontario provided experience that shaped his perspective on helping officers cope with their traumas and networking with other public service agencies.

Before the interview, which was recorded June 6, Scott and Dave talk about their own experiences with police after critiquing City Hall's odd-coloured glass replacement and toilet bowl design.
