Police .ComEnssion Investigation
Reeve George Joynt of Lucknow
Councillor Harvey .Webster and
Clerk E. H. Agnew were in Til
bury 'on Tuesday of ;last; week to•
interview'Erilest Hefferman ; former
police officer in Lucknow, who •
recently left the Lucknow position
andpresently is.:a member of
the
Tilbury police. .
.Last week's 'Sentinel carried a
.news story stating that ReeveJoynt'
was calling for an investigation by •
the Ontario Police Commission
regarding local accusations that
the Reeve had "Interfered" with the
police officer in carrying out his
;.duties. The Reeve was quite dis-
:curbed bythese accusationsand
warned that `fu�ther rumour of '
this type would result in local
residents being called before the
commission to answer to' their.
charges.
According to Reeve Joynt, the
Tilbury trip last Wednesday pro-
duced.satisfactory evidence to thee..
people of Lucknow•that he had
never interfered inpolice business:
Thefollowing letter was written
•to council •by Mr. Heffernan:
June 21/66.
His Worship Reeve G.W.Joynt,
Members of the Council of the
Village of Lucknow.
Gentlemen;".
The, reason I submitted my re-
signation on.. June 9/66 is that my.'
wife 'did not want to leave Tilbury
and move to Lupknow•, G. W. •
Joynt and members of the Council
of the Village of Luctnow,had
nothing to 'do with my resignation.
Respectfully 'submitted ,
"Ernest Heffernan"
Speaking:to The'Sentinel upon
his return from Tilbury, Reeve
Joynt said "I feel this letter of
explanation should be enough, to
enlighten the people of Lucknow
as to the reason for Police Officer,
Heffernan leaving the village. If,
this does not prove satisfactory to,
the residents of Lucknow,. 1 would
still call 'an inquiry by. the Ontario
Police Commission". •
Mr. 'Joynt told The. Sentinel that
Heffernan had been.employed in • '.
Timmins in ,police work; came to
Tilbury -police .department for a
short time before going to work
for, Chrysler Corp. in Windsor,. He
joined the Lucknow' police depart:
ment from the ,Windsor job and.
Reeve Joynt said he returned`to his
former Tilbury police job after a.'
revision was .made to the salary
'schedule paid the• Tilbury depart-
ment and an opening became
available. A cording to Reeve
Joynt; Heffernnan told the Tilbury
y
chief that there had 'been, absolute-.
ly no interference trouble in
Lucknow,
An effort was made by the•
Lucknow Reeve to s 11 thenewly,
