(Wingham, North Huron) Current Huron OPP Detachment Commander Laura Lee Brown is facing significant blowback over the alleged attempted cover-up of the February 17, 2026 assaults involving North Huron Deputy Reeve Kevin Falconer.
Victims report that their statements were destroyed (went missing) and that they were threatened by both OPP officers and town staff. In response, victims threatened to take to the streets, flag down officers, and seek help while live streaming. It ultimately took the OPP 52 days to begin gathering evidence.
Victims and witnesses stood their ground and demanded action. After 52 days, the OPP were finally pressured into taking a victims statement. On April 10, 2026, Officer Reed was captured on video refusing to take a statement from a witness. The witness reported feeling threatened when Reed insisted they move to a private back room in Clinton.
When viewed in context including allegations of OPP officers removing cameras from citizens, three active SIU investigations in Clinton, the refusal to lay charges against Falconer despite what witnesses describe as overwhelming evidence, and reports that one complainant suffered broken ribs serious concerns are being raised about conduct within the Clinton OPP detachment.
The OPP have also been accused of restricting access to press releases, effectively keeping the public in the dark. Critics describe this as a weaponization of public information an approach they argue is unprofessional and contrary to public interest. In most jurisdictions across Ontario, police press releases are openly accessible, as they are intended for the public.
Free Press editors state they have unanimously decided to begin publishing contact information for OPP Media Relations officers, allowing the public to request press releases directly and subscribe to distribution lists.
We are tired of mainstream media censoring police press releases and withholding the names of individuals who may pose a threat to our community. The public has the right to know who is being arrested and why.
The public should be able to access Ontario Provincial Police news releases without restriction. Critics argue that the current practice of limiting access to information must end, and that mainstream media must stop filtering information the public relies on to stay informed and safe.
Below is a partial list of email addresses for OPP Media Relations officers. It is their role to keep the public informed. If full public access is not restored through official channels (https://oppnews.ca/), citizens are being encouraged to contact Media Relations directly to request updates.

COBOURG (April 23, 2026) Cobourg Police Service is reminding the public to be aware of fraud involving gift cards and impersonation on social media platforms, following a recent incident in which a resident was targeted through an online group. In the most recent scam, a 71-year-old woman reported being contacted on social media by an individual claiming to be associated with a television show after she commented on a fan page for the program. The scammer offered a VIP membership in exchange for payment through gift card codes. The victim was defrauded out of $1,200. The victim was later contacted again and advised she could attend the TV set if she deposited the cheque, they sent into her bank account and forwarded the funds. When she attended her financial institution, bank staff recognized the signs of a scam and intervened. The victim had no verifiable contact information for the individual, and all communication occurred exclusively through social media. Cobourg Police Service is reminding residents that legitimate organizations and businesses will never request payment in gift cards, nor will they ask individuals to deposit cheques on their behalf. Be cautious of unsolicited messages on social media, even if they appear to come from well-known individuals, celebrities, or organizations Scammers commonly use gift cards or cryptocurrency because they are difficult to trace and cannot be recovered Never send money, gift card codes, or cryptocurrency to someone you have only interacted with online Do not deposit cheques or forward funds at the request of someone else If an offer sounds too good to be true, it likely is Talk to a trusted family member, friend, or financial institution before sending money Fraudsters rely on pressure and secrecy. Police encourage residents to slow down, ask questions, and report suspicious activity. Anyone who believes they may be the target of a scam, or who has received suspicious online communications, is encouraged to contact Cobourg Police Service or report the incident to the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre at 1‑888‑495‑8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
