A reader contacted us yesterday to complain about the Wingham Police
Service. The reader stated that on Wednesday there was a
collision in Wingham where a car was totaled. It is alleged
that the Wingham Police were called, and never showed up. The
OPP happened by an hour later, got tired of waiting for the Wingham
Police, and then wrote up the reports etc. Two hours after the
collision, the Wingham Police were still a no-show, and apparently
never did show up. Remember Wingham is one square mile, has 7
officers, cost 2X as much as the OPP, and their number one argument
for their continued existence is their excellent” response time
compared to the OPP.
