What Windsor's new deputy police chief wants you to know about him
CBC
Windsor-born Jason Crowley said he's proud to become a deputy chief of the police service he's served for more than three decades.
Crowley was first named acting deputy chief of operations in 2022 and earlier this month was selected by the Windsor Police Services Board to take on the role permanently.
"You spend those 30 years looking up to the leaders of the organization...I'm thrilled to be serving the community," said Crowley.
His career started as a cadet with the police service in 1993 with long stings working as a constable in the patrol and investigations divisions.
Crowley most recently served as the superintendent of investigation services which included overseeing the critical incident command program.
It was in that role where he served as critical incident commander for the Windsor police response to the Ambassador Bridge blockade in February of 2022.
Crowley said that he believes his informal leadership positions held over the years in the service is valuable experience he brings to the role alongside active leadership roles with the tactical team.
Earlier this year, Crowley was charged with stunt driving after being pulled over going 111 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Jan. 7 in Amherstburg.
He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of speeding.
Crowley said he could not answer questions about the event because it is currently being reviewed by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission.
Crowley said his priorities in the role include improving service delivery, building partnerships with other agencies, and improving how police respond to calls involving mental health, addictions and homelessness.
