Police Chief Devon Clunis celebrates last day with 1st doughnut

The last day of a 29-year-old job is a good time for some rule-breaking, and Winnipeg police Chief Devon Clunismarked his retirement by breaking a long-running promise never to eat a doughnut.

And it felt good.

"I haven't had once since I became a police officer because I refused to feed the stereotype," Clunis explained in an email to CBC.

"They brought some in today because, yes, it is my last day.Feels good."

Here's a replay of the chief's doughnut-fast-breaking moment:

Clunis was sworn in as police chief in November 2012, and announced his retirement earlier this year. He was born in Jamaica and came to Canada when he was 11 years old.

Clunishas promoted community-based policing, especially inWinnipeg neighbourhoods like North Point Douglas,where he was honoured by residents in Junefor his positive impact.

He says he hopes his replacement will continue the focus on building relationships with communities.
