Former chief of police’s case returns to court April 14

The case of a former Thunder Bay chief of police was back in court on Monday.

Sylvie Hauth is facing charges stemming from a widespread investigation into claims of misconduct within the police force.

There were hopes that Monday’s court appearance would lead to the scheduling of a trial date, but that did not happen.

The crown and Hauth’s legal team are set to meet again for additional pre-trial meetings later in the month before returning to court on April 14.

The legal team wanted to wait for upcoming Superior Court appointments before returning to court.

Hauth was charged with obstructing a public or peace officer, breach of trust by a public officer, and two counts of obstruction of justice in April 2024.

She first joined the Thunder Bay Police Service in 1993, eventually being promoted to deputy chief and acting police chief, before taking on the full role in 2018, before retiring on January 27, 2023.
