1. At 2230 on 12 June of this year, you were dispatched to Frank Rizzo's Bar at 125 Main St.,
Thorold, Ontario, to make a report on an assault.
You are 10-7 at 125 Main St. at 2240.
The owner of Frank Rizzo's Bar, Stephen Van Sickle, states he was notified by bartender
Irina Ossine, who called Van Sickle in his office at the back of the bar, that a fight had
broken out on the dance floor. Ossine had been informed by a bouncer, Peter
Northwood, that the fight was in progress. Northwood and another bouncer, Ronda
Valentine, went to break up the fight. Ray Harewood, the victim, was dancing when he
was pushed in the back by an unknown male. Harewood turned around on being pushed
and was immediately struck in the face with a beer bottle, which did not break. He fell to
the ground unconscious. Harewood regained consciousness several minutes later. A
patron, Carlos Lopez, noticed a male running from the dance floor and exiting through a
fire exit. Lopez chased the man and followed the suspect to his motorcycle. The suspect
left the parking lot on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Stacy Cordiero, a friend of the victim, was standing beside the victim at the time of the
assault. She corroborated Harewood's story. Earlier in the evening, the suspect had
approached Cordiero and had made derogatory comments about her. Harewood had
intervened, and Harewood and the suspect exchanged words. Harewood stated he had
never seen the suspect before that evening.
Harewood declined medical attention.
You broadcast a description of the suspect and his vehicle. You are 10-8 at 2315 on
routine patrol.

2. You were dispatched at 0215 on 25 June of this year to take a report about a hit-and-run
accident.
You are 10-7 at 0223.
Catriona Hicks reports she was driving northbound on Bay Street at approximately 0200
at the posted speed limit of 60 km/h. She proceeded through the intersection of Bay
Street and Bloor Street on a green light. Hicks's car was then struck on the driver's side
near the rear door by a car eastbound on Bloor Street. Hicks's car was spun around and
ended up facing south on Bay Street. She could see that the car that hit her was speeding
away eastbound on Bloor Street. Hicks managed to get out of the car and onto the
sidewalk. A witness, Ashras Baddar, assisted her and called an ambulance through 911.
Hicks complained of neck and back pain.
Baddar stated, "I saw the Hyundai Elantra enter the intersection as I was waiting to cross
Bay Street at the light. The Hyundai was struck by a red Mazda 6 that entered the
intersection against the light. I ran over to the Hyundai to assist the driver. I could see
that the driver of the Mazda was a white male with short dark hair and a large tattoo on
his neck, on the left side. The licence number of the Mazda was AMAX 133, Ontario plate.
I called 911. I sat with the driver until the ambulance arrived. I heard the ambulance
attendant say that Hicks had a concussion and possible neck injuries."
You tell Baddar to call the police if he has additional information. Your interview of
Baddar began at 0245 and ended at 0257.

3. You are dispatched at 1832 on 24 February of this year to 8131 Book Lane, London,
Ontario, to take a report of a missing child, Leanne Burgess. You arrive at 1840 and
interview the mother of the missing child, Lisa Burgess.
Mrs. Burgess (she prefers to be known as "Mrs.") states that her daughter left the house
at approximately 3 p.m. today to go to the playground to see if any of her friends were
there. The playground is on the next block, on Wave Street near Hagen Boulevard. Leanne
was supposed to have been home at 4:30 p.m., and when she didn't arrive back by 5 p.m.,
Mrs. Burgess walked over to the playground to look for Leanne. She wasn't there, and one
boy who was at the playground said he hadn't seen anyone else at the playground. Mrs.
Burgess says she hadn't seen the boy before today. Mrs. Burgess states that she phoned
Leanne's friends, but none of them had seen her. She then phoned the police.
Mrs. Burgess tells you she and her husband recently separated, and their relationship was
not good. She hints that he might have had something to do with Leanne's
disappearance, although she has no evidence to support this suspicion. Mrs. Burgess
doesn't know where her husband is living, and doesn't have a telephone number for him.
She tells you that his name is Roger Burgess, and that he was born 30 June 1975. The
couple does not have a formal separation agreement, and Roger has been visiting his
daughter regularly.
You interview neighbours, but no one is able to supply you with any additional
information. You then drive to the playground and find two boys there. You ask them if
they know Leanne Burgess, and when both of them state that they go to school with
Leanne, you ask them whether they had seen her earlier today at the playground. One of
the boys, James Wardley, tells you that he had seen Leanne at that playground earlier,
and that he had seen her leave with a man who James thought was her father. The man
had been driving a white car, and Leanne got into the car without resisting, indicating that
she knew the man. You phone Mrs. Burgess, and she confirms that her husband drives a
white 2014 Ford Focus. You run the name through the police database. Information
comes back confirming that the owner of the Focus is Roger Burgess.
You return to the Burgess residence at 1945 and enter the house to obtain a photo and
description of Leanne Burgess when a white Ford Focus pulls into the driveway. Mrs.
Burgess runs to the window and yells, "That's him! That's my husband! And he's got
Leanne with him! He's the one who kidnapped my daughter!"
Mr. Burgess enters the house with Leanne, who says, "Hi, Mommy. Daddy picked me up
at the park and we went for a ride." She appears to be unhurt.
You interview Roger Burgess, who claims he was driving past the playground on his way
to the convenience store, saw Leanne, and stopped to take her with him. They drove
around the city for a while because he wanted to spend some time with his daughter, and
he lost track of time. When he realized how long they'd been gone, he hurried back to the
house. He admits he should have at least phoned Mrs. Burgess, but says he didn't want to
get into an argument, and besides, he never thought she'd call the police.
Since there is no legal reason why Mr. Burgess could not take his daughter for a ride, no
charges are laid. However, you remind Mr. Burgess that his inconsiderate attitude has
cost a lot of your time that could have been useful elsewhere. You also tell him that you
will submit a report on this incident. You are 10-8 at 2015.
