OPP Facing Dereliction Of Duty Allegations – Winghamites Taking Back Community – #WinghamStrong #YouWereWarned

(North Huron) The community of Wingham has reached a breaking point. Residents no longer trust the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) or the Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) to protect them. From unchecked crime to alleged corruption, the people of Wingham feel abandoned by the very institutions meant to serve them.

Despite this massive failure, Winghamites are uniting to protect the children in their community, expunging drug dealers and squatters, with force when necessary.

OPP: Dereliction of Duty

The OPP’s failure to issue press releases on dangerous offenders has left the community in the dark, allowing criminals to roam freely. Reports of police brutality, drunken drivers, and drug dealers operating without consequence have become all too common.

  • Catch-and-release justice: The court system is seen as corrupt, with repeat offenders immediately returning to the streets.
  • Pedophile ring allegations: Whispers of an OPP covered-up pedophile ring, allegedly fueled by illegal drugs, have further eroded trust.
  • Fear of retaliation: Many residents are too scared to speak out, fearing violent backlash from criminals and police officers who operate with impunity.

Email opp public relations officers at [email protected] and [email protected] to find out why they have continued to fail our community.

HPPH: False Information and Failed Leadership

Huron Perth Public Health has also lost credibility.

  • False press releases: Amid an alleged measles “outbreak,” HPPH has been accused of spreading misinformation in the past without apology.
  • Inspectors lying in court: Public health officials have given false testimony, undermining their integrity.

Bylaw Enforcement: Afraid to Act

Local bylaw officers refuse to enforce regulations on Crown land, leaving residents to deal with:

  • Dog owners allow their dogs to crap on the sidewalks, and by-law enforcement is to afraid to confront the owners.
  • Squatters and trespassers taking over properties.
  • Illegal dumping turning neighborhoods into wastelands.
  • “Junkies” running rampant, with officials too afraid to confront them.

The Only Hope? The Fire Chief

In a system where trust has collapsed, many look to the Fire Chief as the last bastion of leadership—someone who might respect private property rights and “pivot us back to democracy.”

Social Media & Vigilantism

With authorities failing, residents, employers and landlords have turned to Facebook, using comment sections to locate suspected criminals that support/deal with each other and blacklist them. While controversial, it highlights the desperation of a community that no longer believes in its institutions.

Final Thoughts

Wingham is at a crossroads. Without immediate action from the OPP, HPPH, and local officials, the town risks descending into chaos. The people demand accountability—before it’s too late.
