An investigation was conducted into allegations that Matthew Shoemaker, a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service Board, committed misconduct by acting in an unprofessional manner, speaking without authorization on behalf of the Board, and improperly acting to exclude the complainant from the chief selection competition.
After reviewing the Findings Report, the Inspector General concluded that Mr. Shoemaker did not commit misconduct under the Code of Conduct for Police Service Board Members. The Inspector General also found that the Board did not act unfairly in declining to interview the complainant in the chief selection process.
