An investigation by the OPP has found Windsor police handled a 911 call to the police chief's house appropriately.
In early November, officers were called to Police Chief Al Frederick's home and officers determined it was not a criminal nature. No charges were ever laid.
Deputy Chief Brad Hill contacted the chair of the police services board, Mayor Drew Dilkens, regarding the call.
In order to provide proper independent oversight, the Windsor Police Services Board asked the OPP to step in to review how Windsor police handled the situation and in a report dated January 2, 2019, OPP concluded everything was done in a proper and transparent manner.
Dilkens says extra precautions were taken with this call, hence the OPP were contacted.
"In that report, the OPP through their independent investigation concluded that there was no wrongdoing, that everything was handled appropriately, that proper accountability transparency and oversight was provided," says Dilkens who prepared a written statement.
Dilkens emphasizes that Windsor police officers did nothing wrong.
"Like in most cases, the response was very appropriate, but because the call dealt with the chief of police, our policy was silent on how that should be handled because there is no officer at a higher rank than the chief of police."
There is a policy that when there is a 911 call regarding an officer's conduct, that another supervisor or another officer holding a more senior rank attend to oversee the call, but there isn't one regarding the chief who is the highest rank at Windsor police.
The Windsor Police Service, nor the chief, are commenting on the matter at this time.
