Slain officer remembered as 'true-blue cop's cop'
Veteran plain clothes detective may have broken up drug deal
before being shot
By Hayley MICK with a report from Canadian Press, Page A6
Toronto -- His colleagues say Constable John
ATKINSON was a "true-blue
cop's cop" who was on the job "24 hours a day."
That dedication helped him infiltrate organized crime, charm
hardened criminals and propel him to a spot on Ontario's elite
anti-terrorism squad.
Now, as the Windsor police force mourns the loss of this 14-year
veteran, the question is whether Constable
ATKINSON's willingness
to go the extra mile may have played a role in his death.
Police say Constable
ATKINSON, 37, was on duty Friday afternoon
when he was fatally shot after confronting two people outside
a convenience store. The father of two died in the parking lot,
only blocks from his east-end Windsor home. Two 18-year-olds
have been charged with first-degree murder.
Police say Constable
ATKINSON suspected a drug deal was going
on, and Windsor Police Chief Glenn
STANNARD said yesterday that
the officer would have been "duty bound" to investigate.
Breaking up petty drug deals was not a part of the job description
for an officer who worked in street clothes and sometimes undercover.
He had been working for the past two years to unearth terrorists
with a provincial joint task force.
Yesterday, the force's honour guard joined thousands of Ontario
police in Toronto for a service honouring fallen officers.
As they ate lunch after the service at Queen's Park, his colleagues
described Constable
ATKINSON as a "true brother" who lived for
his family and his profession.
"He was a policeman 24 hours a day," said one constable who did
not want to be named.
"You say 'police,' you say 'John,' " added another.
Constable ATKINSON grew up in Windsor and married his high-school
sweetheart, Shelly. They bought the house next door to his parents
and had two children: Mitchell, now 9, and Nicole, who turned
7 on Saturday.
He joined his hometown police force as a cadet in 1991, and earned
a reputation as a hard-working cop who was especially adept at
recovering stolen vehicles.
"There's people who go 120 miles an hour and there's people who
go 40 miles an hour," said Chief
STANNARD. "He worked all the
time."
About six years ago, Constable
ATKINSON became an undercover
officer. His easy-going manner had proven valuable in getting
criminals to talk.
"He was really good at cultivating that information," said Sergeant
Mike LAPORT, president of the Windsor Police Association. "He
could pretty well talk to anybody."
He was also "strong like an ox," said another officer, who said
he often worked out with Constable
ATKINSON, who was about six
feet tall and weighed over 200 pounds. "He was a true-blue cop's
cop," he added. "If you're in [trouble], you want him there."
About two years ago, Constable
ATKINSON was assigned to the province's
anti-terrorism section, a unit that includes municipal, provincial
and federal officers. The job meant he often worked alone.
He showed up to work most days wearing jeans.
On Friday afternoon, just after 2 p.m., police say Constable
ATKINSON pulled up to a gas station and convenience store. He
was in plainclothes and filling up his unmarked vehicle with
gas.
Police say he noticed two men involved in what appeared to be
a drug deal.
"He came across something that was potentially a criminal offence
and was duty bound to take some action, and he did," Chief
STANNARD
said.
Constable ATKINSON flashed his police badge, police say, and
shortly after he was struck by a bullet. He was able to return
fire before falling to the pavement.
Chief STANNARD said he did not know whether Constable
ATKINSON
knew the two teens charged in his death.
"I'm not going to question or second-guess whether he should
have done this, or should have done that," Chief
STANNARD said.
"He took some action -- whatever that may be. We'll sort through
the rest of that in the investigation."
He said the officer was comfortable working alone, as he often
did.
Constable ATKINSON, the first Windsor police officer ever killed
on duty, will be buried with full police honours on Thursday.
A public memorial service will be held Tuesday.
Charged with first-degree murder are Nikkolas
BRENNAN and Coty
DEFAUSSES, both 18. Mr.
BRENNAN was also charged with possession
of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking. He also faces a
weapons charge.
