Police say it is one of most elaborate encampments they have ever seen, with a mini-power grid, including solar panels, and multiple home appliances. The encampment was discovered last week by the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Police Service joint response encampment team. It was almost completely camouflaged and included four multi-level structures surrounded by a fence made of trees and broken branches. The structures had been built without nails or other forms of support and were at risk of collapse. Inside, police and park rangers found fire-stoves with lit fires, a stone fireplace, stone/marble flooring, a working fridge and washing machine, and live electrical wires strung haphazardly. Power was supplied by four generators, with solar panels powering a chop shop for stolen bikes. 15 weapons, including three guns, and about $8000 worth of stolen goods were recovered. Police have so far returned 2 backpack blowers and 1 mountain bike to their rightful owners. 20 violation tickets were written, and 10 warrants executed. The encampment caused significant environmental damage to the trees and root systems, and the nearby creek was dammed in multiple places to provide running water to one of the structures. The encampment has since been dismantled. Those living in it were offered access to services and supports, which they refused.

The Edmonton Police Service was proud to escort soldiers from the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry as they returned to Edmonton from CFB Wainwright. Many EPS members have served in the Canadian Armed Forces and still have close ties to the military. We share a common bond of duty, and because of that, the recent tragedy that occurred at CFB Wainwright is felt deeply by every single one of our officers. Our hearts go out to the families of the four brave individuals who lost their lives and to the injured personnel recovering in hospital.

Distraction-style thefts are escalating to robberies. In recent reports, suspects are driving around in residential areas looking for South Asian senior women. They use tactics such as asking for directions, claiming it’s their birthday, or telling the woman she looks like their mother to get her to approach the vehicle. Then, they grab at her, pull her arm into the vehicle, and forcibly remove jewellery. Police are advising Edmontonians to avoid approaching unknown vehicles. If you are a victim or a witness in this type of robbery, take down the license plate if it’s safe to do so, and call 911 immediately. For more information, please go to:

“I thought it was going to be a young kid.” Getting old doesn’t mean slowing down. At least that’s what one driver thought during the morning commute. The EPS Aggressive Driving Unit pulled over an elderly motorist with an extremely heavy foot. We’re Dead Serious about traffic safety. Are you?

Edmonton is facing a serious opioid crisis, and community safety requires new, coordinated approaches. This summer, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) will open the Integrated Stabilization Centre (ISC), a secure, space where officers can bring people who are at immediate risk due to severe intoxication, substance use or a mental health crisis. With support from Recovery Alberta medical professionals, the ISC will offer 24/7 medical support and connections to voluntary recovery, health care, community and cultural supports. “The Edmonton Police Service is taking decisive action through the ISC to address addiction, overdose and social disorder with a coordinated approach to public safety,” says Deputy Chief Derek McIntyre. The ISC is designed to help divert people from the justice system where possible, reduce pressure on emergency services and provide care with dignity. The ISC is one more step toward a safer, more supportive response for people in crisis.

“He’s got nothing left of his two front tires.” AIR1, Edmonton’s eye in the sky, was on the scene when a black SUV fled from police. The vehicle drove left of centre to avoid Downtown Division officers. The SUV continued to drive recklessly through residential neighborhoods – all of it caught on camera by AIR1. When the vehicle was finally stopped, the occupants fled on foot. What they hadn’t counted on was AIR1 tracking their movements and relaying the information to ground units. Canine and Patrol took all three suspects into custody as they attempted to hide. Nice work, everyone!

Edmonton is at the centre of Alberta’s opioid crisis. So far this year, 52% of the province’s opioid-related deaths have happened in our city. Addiction doesn’t happen in isolation. It contributes to visible disorder: public drug use, vandalism, crime, vacant properties, and growing pressure on public services. That’s why EPS is taking a new approach to create a Safer Edmonton for everyone.

Police recently responded to a complaint about a dog left in an unattended vehicle in the West Edmonton Mall parking lot. The temperature outside had reached 36 degrees. Animal Control Peace Officers were able to break the window to take the dog into their custody. The driver eventually returned to their vehicle after 45 minutes, where EPS officers arrested and charged them with Causing Unnecessary Suffering to an Animal. The Edmonton Police Service would like to remind the public that leaving children and pets in unattended vehicles is unsafe during extreme heat. On a warm day, even vehicles parked in the shade with the windows rolled down can reach a staggering 49 degrees in minutes. If you see a child or pet in distress, call 911 immediately.

Distraction thefts are increasing again – stay alert! “You look like my grandparents! Can I give you a hug?” “I want to offer you blessings!” “Can I borrow your phone?” Working in pairs or groups, thieves use introductions like these to gain trust, approach, and ultimately distract people so they can steal from them. Stay alert in public places like parking lots, shopping complexes, and waiting areas, secure your belongings and be cautious when approached by strangers. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts, decline the interaction, and create distance. If you have been a victim, report it online at or call the non-emergency line at 780-423-4567 or #377 from your mobile phone. To learn more please visit
