The Ottawa Police Service Pipe Band was the 1994 and 2009 Grade 4 North American Champion. Established in 1969, the band was founded by serving Ottawa police officers to promote public relations and to contribute to memorials for slain officers. Today, the band plays at Canada’s national police memorial service and at memorial services, funerals, tattoos, highland games and parades across Ontario and the United States. The band, which wears the “Red Ross” tartan in honour of Ottawa’s first Chief Constable, Roderick Ross, has about 70 members. Pipers and drummers include serving police officers and civilian volunteers under the direction of Pipe Major Detective James Ritchie and Drum Major Inspector Chris Renwick. The band has released four CDs and donates proceeds from their sales to charity. In June 2010, the band played for Queen Elizabeth II at the grand re-opening of the Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
