The Henry County Sheriff’s Office has requested the Bates County Sheriff’s Office conduct a full and independent investigation into matters involving potential misconduct within the City of Windsor.
Because the Henry County Sheriff’s Office currently provides municipal police services to the City of Windsor under contract, Sheriff Aaron Brown made the decision to request an outside agency to lead the investigation in order to remove any question of bias, conflict, or influence.
“Transparency and public trust are cornerstones of our service,” said Sheriff Brown. “By requesting assistance from the Bates County Sheriff’s Office, we ensure this review is handled with complete independence and professionalism. Bates County is a strong partner in public safety and is well-equipped to conduct a thorough, impartial investigation.”
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office appreciates the swift and responsible actions taken by the Windsor City Counsel and will continue to fully support the process.
As this remains an active investigation, both the City of Windsor and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office will refer all inquiries to the Bates County Sheriff’s Office.
