Stolen Calgary Police Service property

The Calgary Police Service is seeking assistance to locate several items stolen from a vehicle, including property belonging to CPS.

The items were taken from a 2015 Dodge Ram that was parked in the 0-100 block of Skyview Point Rise N.E., sometime between 4 p.m., on Monday, May 7, 2018, and 7 a.m., on Tuesday, May 8, 2018.

The truck belonged to a CPS recruit and taken was her duty bag which held handcuffs and keys, a set of soft body armour marked with “FTT” on the back, and a locked case that contained an inert (non-functioning) 40-calibre handgun and three 15-round magazines. No live ammunition was taken. Other Service-issued equipment such as a duty belt, flashlight and baton were also taken.

A photo of the inert Glock is available on The City of Calgary Newsroom. The inert training gun is given to recruits for training purposes and is only available to law enforcement. It mimics the size and weight of a functional weapon for officers in training. The bottom grip of the weapon is red, while the top slide/barrel is black.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the stolen items or the theft is asked to call the District 5 GIU Staff Sergeant at 403-428-6500, the police non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or CrimeStoppers through either of the following methods:

TALK: 1-800-222-8477
