It is, as police photo veteran Harold R. predictably replied, Jacques Saint-Mars, head of the legendary Night Patrol that reigned from the late 60s to around February 1977. They were based in the cop shop in Old Mtl near City Hall but a reorganization led to their demise, although some believe that an incident in which the lads beat savagely on a buncha Dubois gang boys led to their dismemberment. I have a few old articles about the patrol but none are as interesting as they set out to be. The one I wrote might be the best. Saint-Mars was featured in a couple of Trevor Ferguson novels and was good with the media. I have a theory that Montreal's police have lost their good reputation with the public ever since they silenced the one or two guys on the squad who would speak their minds to journalists (including Steve Roberts and John Parker) but I'll unveil that some other time.
