Even though marijuana becomes legal this Wednesday, Windsor's police chief is encouraging people to just say no.
Small amounts of pot will be legal in Canada come October 17 and Police Chief Al Frederick is expecting an increase in calls for service because of it.
He believes there will be more neighbour disputes plus more impaired driving by drug cases.
The Windsor Police Service is currently reviewing its internal policy for police officers and the chief wants to be on the conservative side that goes well beyond just "fit for duty."
"Whether or not, there is going to be a time delay between the officer consuming and his deployment, so how many hours or days would be appropriate and there is mixed information in regards to that, but I can tell you I will on the conservative end of that range that I'm hearing about," says Frederick.
Even though marijuana will be legal, Chief Frederick would rather his officers not use it at all.
"We have been working under a strict regiment of discipline and a code of conduct for decades in policing with civilian oversite," he says. "Our officers are extremely professional, I'm discouraging all use of cannabis amongst my staff, I'm really advocating for the whole community to abstain."
But overall, Frederick doesn't expect a problem amongst officers.
"This fit for duty piece, we have not had a situation in Windsor where an officer has come to work not fit for duty as a result of a consumption of alcohol for example, it is similar policy and that doesn't happen, they are extremely professional" he says.
As for members of the public who do consume cannabis, Frederick says there is the issue on how they obtained it, whether through an online store, in a retail store or through illegal means.
