Jacques Duchesneau, CM (born February 7, 1949) is a Québécois politician, civil servant, former Montreal Chief of Police, and former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. Since 2012, Duchesneau was the member of the Quebec National Assembly for the riding of Saint-Jérôme, elected under the Coalition Avenir Québec banner. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the Université de Montréal, a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the École nationale d'administration publique, and is in the process of completing a doctorate degree at the Royal Military College of Canada.
Jacques Duchesneau began his career at the Montreal Urban Community Police Service (SPCUM) in 1968. He first appeared in the public eye in 1981, when as a young sergeant-detective, he arrested his own boss for stealing drugs from the evidence locker. From 1994 to 1998, he commanded the SPCUM and simultaneously served as treasurer of the International Centre for the Prevention of Crime, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, and president of the Quebec Association of Police Directors. After retiring from his police career in 1998, he campaigned to become the Mayor of Montreal with his party Nouveau Montreal, finishing second with 26% of the vote, behind incumbent Pierre Bourque (44%) but ahead of former Mayor Jean Doré (10%). After losing the race and failing to secure a seat as city councillor, he retreated to the private sector.
