The application from the Town of Amherstburg to switch police forces to Windsor police is under review by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission.
The OCPC received the application earlier this week after council voted 3-2 to switch to Windsor Police on February 26th.
Amherstburg is seeking a 20-year contract with Windsor Police that would begin next year, however final approval from the commission is needed.
Estimates say the town would save between $14-million and $16-million by switching forces.
Windsor police chief Al Frederick has said the deal will bring enhanced service at a lower cost while retaining the officers who already work in Amherstburg.
If the commission grants approval, Mayor Aldo DiCarlo expects to see Windsor police on the streets of Amherstburg by January, 2019.
