Strong partnerships help make our communities safer.
Alberta Sheriffs was proud to work alongside Calgary Police Service on this joint operation to locate wanted fugitives.
🔵 JOINT OPERATION 🔵
A joint warrant enforcement operation between the Calgary Police Service & Alberta Sheriffs has resulted in 15 arrests & the execution of 51 outstanding warrants.
The recent two-day operation brought together members of our District 2 Patrol & Patrol Support Teams & the Fugitive Apprehension Sheriff Support Team, FASST. The initiative focused on locating wanted individuals, improving public safety & furthering investigations.
The operation was planned over several weeks, with analytical resources preparing & reviewing approx. 120 information packages before officers were deployed. During the operation, members attended 66 residences throughout Calgary.
The operation resulted in:
🔹15 individuals arrested
🔹51 warrants executed, including one Canada-wide warrant
🔹5 criminal charges laid
🔹34 investigations
In addition to arrests, investigators gathered information about the possible whereabouts of wanted individuals, verified addresses, developed new investigative leads & updated records to support future enforcement efforts.
Keeping Albertans safe is a team effort. Last week, the Alberta Emergency Management Agency celebrated its staff, who help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from wildfires, floods and other emergencies. Thank you all!
