Windsor police officer sentenced for criminal harassment, indecent phone calls
Windsor police Const. Joshua Smith will face two years of probation for repeatedly calling a female co-worker to moan and breathe heavily without saying any words. Smith had been facing a charge of criminal harassment and indecent phone calls dating back to September 2023. As part of a plea deal accepted on Friday, an Ontario Court judge handed Smith a conditional discharge. That means there has been a finding of guilt, but no criminal conviction is registered if he complies with his conditions. On Monday, a Police Services Act hearing briefly took place and was pushed to August. These hearings will determine what, if any, internal discipline Smith will face as an officer for these offences. In a completely separate case, Smith was charged again in May of this year with uttering threats. His next court appearance is in September for that case. Smith has been suspended with pay since he was first charged in September 2023. According to Ontario's most recent Sunshine List disclosures, a Const. Joshua F. A. Smith with the Windsor Police Service was paid $125,320 in 2024.
