A Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) mediation between an inspector and the Windsor Police Service was unsuccessful. Inspector Norman ‘Ed’ Armstrong filed a discrimination and sexual harassment complaint in 2024. According to the complaint to the HRTO, obtained by CTV News, Armstrong alleged he was “discriminated against based on his race, the colour of his skin, and received unwanted “sexual harassment, solicitations, or advances.” A spokesperson for the HRTO confirmed mediation ‘proceeded’ on June 19 but “the parties did not settle.” The matter remains before the HRTO, but it’s not clear if that means the complaint will proceed to a full hearing. Armstrong was reinstated to the rank of Inspector this past February, after being demoted for one-year for discreditable conduct for comments made to female employees of the WPS.
