A Windsor resident has filed a complaint over the investigation into a 911 call from the home of Windsor's police chief.
Greg LeMay, who ran unsuccessfully in the 2018 municipal election, has filed the complaint with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) last Monday.
He believes the Windsor Police Services Board and Mayor Drew Dilkens, who chairs the board, dropped the ball in waiting nine days before calling in the OPP to investigate.
Back in November, there was a 911 call from Chief Al Frederick's home. Officers attended, found nothing criminal and no charges were laid.
The board called in the OPP to review how Windsor police handled the situation and in a report on January 2, 2019, the OPP concluded everything was done in a proper and transparent manner.

LeMay wants to know why it took so long to call in the OPP.
"There is some question there with the nine day wait, there is a loop hole there across the province in terms of the language basically with respect to it being silent on the chief on who will investigate," he says.
LeMay says the chief should take notes from his own Project Accountability.
"He developed Project Accountability and he has no problem holding his own rank and file to a certain standard and for some reason, he is not in my opinion, he is not up to par in that, in terms of himself, he is not being part of the team there" he says.
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.
LeMay expects to hear back this week in terms of which body will investigate the actual complaint, either the OIPRD or the Ontario Civilian Police Commission.
