On Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, we continued our efforts to address crime & social disorder in Calgary through our fifth Operation Order. Throughout the day, Calgary Police Service officers worked alongside Calgary Community Safety, Transit Public Safety, the @AlbertaSheriffs, Emergency Health Services Alberta & community agencies to enforce laws & bylaws, execute outstanding warrants, engage with businesses & community members & connect individuals with services & supports. “There is no single police operation that will solve the complex challenges we are seeing in our city, but stepping back & simply accepting crime & social disorder is not an option,” says Chief Katie McLellan. “When enforcement is necessary, we will take action. When there is an opportunity to connect someone with supports that can help move them toward greater stability, we will do that as well. We will continue working with our partners to find the most effective ways to address these concerns & make Calgary safer.” “Calgarians deserve to feel safe in the communities & public spaces they use every day,” says Mike Ellis, Minister of Public Safety & Emergency Services. “Operations like these, led by the Calgary Police Service, with support from Alberta Sheriffs & other partners, demonstrate the importance of working together to address crime & social disorder, while also connecting people with the services and supports they need.” “Public safety is fundamental to a strong & vibrant city,” says Mayor Jeromy Farkas. “Through Safer Calgary – Operation Order, we are seeing police, city, provincial & community partners working side-by-side to address the concerns Calgarians are experiencing in their communities. These ongoing, coordinated efforts are an important part of keeping Calgary safe for everyone.” 📊 Operation Order results The numbers below reflect totals from the CPS enforcement actions throughout the operation. 📞 Calls attended: 320 👮 Persons charged: 10 ⚖️ Charges laid: 18 📄 Summonses issued: 99 🚓 Arrest warrants executed: 170 🤝 Proactive community engagements: 330 ❤️‍🩹 Social support & outreach referrals: 165 Operation Order highlights 🔷 In the East Village, CPS members arrested 2 people in connection with a robbery & possession of illegal cigarettes.
