Following a lengthy internal investigation, Sgt. John Scott and Sgt. Duane Wenmann of the Wawa Police Service have been charged with several counts of misconduct for violations of the Code of Conduct within the Police Services Act. The charges were laid in 2008, and following preliminary appearances before a Hearing Officer, the matters are now proceeding to trial.

During the course of the investigation the Wawa Police Service enlisted the assistance of the Justice Technology Services I & IT Security Office, as well as the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Professional Standards Bureau. Further disciplinary charges have also been laid against Sgt. Wenmann with regard to additional violations of the Code of Conduct.

The Chief of Police has enlisted the services of retired OPP Superintendent Morris Elbers, Q.C., to adjudicate the matter as the Hearing Officer. The hearings commence the week of August 17, 2009, and will be held at the Legion Hall, situated at 51 Broadway Avenue, Wawa Ontario.
