Sarnia Police Chief Under Criminal Probe | Toronto News

Sarnia’s suspended police chief Derek Davis now faces a criminal investigation after a local business owner and former councillor filed serious allegations — including questionable hiring, private consulting, and misuse of public funds for libel notices. The Ontario Inspectorate of Policing referred the case to York Regional Police, who are actively reviewing it without releasing details.

Meanwhile, Mike Federico serves as interim chief while the probe unfolds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
