Dundee Police Department releases statement on hazing case
DUNDEE — The Dundee Police Department released an update on a hazing investigation they're assisting with at Dundee Community School District. The post stated the alleged criminal incidents involving the Dundee High School wrestling team had occurred in Kalamazoo, though the parents of the victim in the incidents declined to seek prosecution. "The incident in 2024 in Kalamazoo was turned over to the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office today for further investigation and eventually their prosecutor for a review of any charges," read the post. The Dundee Police Department was asked to assist the school district administration team with the investigation on April 16, after Superintendent Scott Leach received an anonymous tip notifying him of potential criminal behavior by the wrestling team members, including allegations of hazing and assault. More: Dundee High School wrestling team is under investigation for hazing "The high school administration and School Resource Officer immediately launched an investigation of the matter consistent with our school policies and procedures," Leach said in a communication to the district. The investigation included interviews with wrestling team members, coaches, and parents, and video evidence was discovered of additional incidents of hazing, fights, and physical assaults by wrestling team members against each other, Leach wrote. "We do not tolerate bullying, harassment, intimidation and we thoroughly investigate all reports consistent with our school policies and student code of conduct," Leach said in the communication. The district initiated a Title IX investigation that will be conducted by the Thrun Law Firm. A Title IX violation is any act of discrimination or harassment based on sex that occurs in a school or other educational program receiving federal funding. This includes sexual harassment and assault, and other forms of sex-based discrimination. All school-based wrestling-related activities have been paused pending the outcome of the investigations. — Contact reporter Connor Veenstra at CVeenstra@ This article originally appeared on The Monroe News: Dundee Police Department releases statement on wrestling hazing case
