We are saddened by the unfortunate on-duty loss of Police Service Dog Jago, as a result of the incident near High Prairie on June 17th. A partner, member, and friend, Jago will be greatly missed.
We get that driving can be frustrating and not all road users are courteous. When driving, channel your inner Bottas—not Tsunoda. Stay calm, cool and collected. Share the road with others and don’t drive like any F1 drivers.
Harley and Cst. Nyeste located a missing 2-year-old boy last week who had wandered away in freezing weather. Harley tracked right up to the boy, who was hidden from sight, and started licking his face. Harley was rewarded with his usual treat, a cheezburger! #TonguesOutThursday
When we leave our desks we lock up our valuables. Remember to lock up yours.

We work from sunrise to sunset (and sunset to sunrise) to make sure you’re safe! We’re lucky to be able to see the beautiful skies while we’re out patrolling. #WhereWeWork
Actual 911 call: “FYI, there’s a moose in the marsh on the outskirts of town. It’s not injured or in danger.” That’s pretty neat, but if the moose isn’t in danger or endangering people, there’s nothing to do. It’s a moose doing moose things. Please call 911 for emergencies #NPSTW
Recently, Cst Cory Kornicki from the #SherwoodPark detachment saw a request posted on social media asking if anyone could help out an Ukrainian refugee new to Alberta who needed a graduation dress. Cst. Kornicki’s family happily donated a dress to help out a newcomer to AB!

The unlawful protest on Hwy 4 continues to impede traffic flow in the Coutts area. There are increased concerns for pedestrian safety. Don't gather or walk on hwys. Regardless of slowed traffic/delays, vehicles continue to move throughout the area & pose an increased safety risk.
We march to remember our fellow officers who sacrificed their lives for the safety and security of #Alberta.
PSD Roy worked his final shift last week. He and Cpl. Drenka tracked and apprehended a suspect who was arrested for possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000. Roy now permanently lives a cushy life with the Drenka family. Congrats on retirement! #TonguesOutThursday
