Frederick recognizes, though, there is no tolerance for officers insulting or demeaning the people they deal with.

"Officers are interacting with people at their worst, during crises, and so sometimes they have to raise their voice or use language [that is] not appropriate in other circumstances," Frederick said. "I can live with that, knowing the volatility of situations on the streets."

The Attorney General's office has ordered a review of police. TheOntarioIndependent Police Oversight Review is holding apublic meeting held in Windsor on Tuesday.

"Trust between a community and its police is a moving target," Federicksaid. "Yes, the oversight and thereviewof thatoversightis anecessarytool."
