 The allegation of police misconduct was one of several which contributed to a wildcat strike by police officers in the summer of 1995; Bill Blair, a supporter of community policing models, was assigned to head the affected police division in response to the strike (Blair later rose to be Toronto police chief).The incident also reportedly contributed to Drummond's own decision to move from a technical to an on-air journalist's role with Citytv.Drummond previously anchored "CityNews at Noon" and was later made anchor for another newscast, "CityNews at Five".
