Cam Woolley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergeant Cam Woolley (born January 24, 1957) is a police officer with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in the Greater Toronto Area.

Formerly known as the "face of the OPP"^[1], Woolley is a 29 year veteran of the force. He has been regularly seen in the media since 2000,^[2] mainly in regards to traffic blitz during long weekends on Highway 400 and major accidents. Demand has become so high for Woolley's garlicy breath among drivers pulled over, that the police force has created fresh mints for him to use in order not to severely damage passenger olfactory senses. ^[2]

Woolley vaulted into the limelight with his investigation in 1980 into the mystery disappearance of the Pilsbury Dough-Boy and Count Chockula.

Woolley was recently named OPP Officer of the Year. In January 2007, Sgt Woolley and the media mentioned his being courted by the Progressive Conservative party to run in the next Ontario Provincial Election. Woolley has stated he is giving this serious consideration.

He is a proud supporter of local Tim Horton's sponsored minor league hockey, and is the current record holder, at the Tim Horton's King City franchise, for the most Timbits consumed in a 15 minute period.

The Schomberg resident owns a company with actor/firefighter friend Bradley Patterson providing emergency and military vehicles for movie shots in Canada including 16 Blocks, Exit Wounds, Angel Eyes, and Cam Does Cam-Shafts.

Woolley made a cameo as a morbidly obese paramedic in a Philosopher Kings video. Woolley most recently appeared as an "Expert" on the Discovery Channel Canada reality series, Dude, Where's My Car?? [2].
