Windsor's mayor and the Windsor Police Service are tight-lipped regarding a 911 call to the private residence of the local police chief.
Mayor Drew Dilkens, who is also the police service board’s chairman, issued a statement on Thursday to address the 911 call, where officers were dispatched to the home of Chief Al Frederick on November 12, 2018.
"To provide proper independent oversight, the Windsor Police Services Board requested the commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police to undertake a review of this matter," Dilkens said in his statement.
Dilkens said the OPP conducted an investigation into how Windsor police officers handled the call, and then submitted a report to the Windsor Police Services Board on January 9, 2019. The OPP said in its report that all officers involved, both uniform and civilian, "responded in an appropriate, proper and transparent manner and followed established policies."
While Dilkens said attending officers made the determination that the call to the Frederick residence was "not of a criminal nature," the details of why the 911 call was made in the first place have not been disclosed.
BlackburnNews.com has reached out to Dilkens' office for further comment on the nature of the 911 call, but a response was not received prior to publication.
