Editor’s Note: As many of you who read our blotters know we have been asking the Cornwall Police to be more transparent. They have refused and in fact are now refusing to answer basic email queries from CFN.
Again, all CFN has asked for is what the SD&G OPP and Kingston Police does, which is furnish a list of calls for service so that we journalists, who are supposed partners with the police in communicating issues to the public, can do our very important jobs.
Here is a list of calls for service from their police map which you are not seeing in the blotter from the same posted period.
2 Sexual Assaults
2 Neighbor Disputes
12 Motor Vehicle Collisions
4 Mental Health Act
1 Landlord Tenant
1 Impaired
2 Fraud
3 Sudden Deaths
