WPS deputy chief facing stunt driving charge

The Windsor Police Service’s Acting Deputy Chief of Operations has been issued a summons for stunt driving.

On January 7, 2023, the Deputy Chief Jason Crowley was off duty in his personal vehicle when he was stopped for allegedly driving 111 km/h in a 70 km/h posted speed zone in Amherstburg. A Windsor Police officer conducting traffic enforcement in the area observed the vehicle travelling at the high rate of speed.

Police say Crowley was released with no further action and subsequently disclosed the incident to Windsor

Police Chief Jason Bellaire.

In response, Chief Bellaire directed the Service’s Professional Standards Branch to investigate the matter. As a result of that investigation, Deputy Chief Crowley was issued a summons to appear in court for the stunt driving allegation.

As the matter is now before the courts, the Windsor Police Service states it will not be releasing any further information in regards to this incident.

The Windsor Police Services Board expects to discuss the matter this week, reports AM800 News.
