About Wayne Balcaen
Wayne Balcaen was elected as the MLA for Brandon West in 2023.
Using his experience as the former Brandon Police Chief, Wayne is currently the Progressive Conservative Critic for Justice.
Born in Winnipeg, Wayne moved to Soest, Germany, when he was 6 weeks old. There he joined his father, a member of the Canadian Military who was serving a 3-year overseas tour, and the rest of his family. Upon completing this tour, they returned to Shilo and eventually moved to Brandon at age 5, which has been home base for Wayne ever since.
Wayne completed all his K-12 education in Brandon before attending Lethbridge Community College (now Lethbridge College) and receiving a diploma in Law Enforcement in April of 1990. He is also a graduate of the Police Leadership and Management Program through the Saskatchewan Police College and of the Executive Development in Policing through the Canadian Police College.
In October 1990, Wayne joined the Brandon Police Service, where he’d serve for the next 32 years, eventually becoming Brandon’s 19th Chief of Police on October 30th, 2017. During his over-30 years, Wayne worked in various areas of the Police Service, including patrol division, detectives, drug enforcement, community policing, support services, and the last 8 years in the administration.
Actively engaged in the Brandon community, he has also served on various boards and committees.
