Eighteen people were arrested, 91 outstanding warrants were executed and more than $3,000 in outstanding fines were paid during a co-ordinated enforcement initiative targeting wanted suspects earlier this month. On Aug. 5 and 6, 2026, we partnered with the Alberta Sheriffs’ Fugitive Apprehension Sheriffs Support Team (FASST) to locate individuals wanted on outstanding criminal and non-criminal warrants in downtown Calgary and the surrounding area. Of the warrants executed: 77 were criminal warrants, 25 of which were related to violent offences 14 were non-criminal warrants Many of the warrants executed were related to assault of a peace officer, resisting arrest, possession of a dangerous weapon, assault with a weapon, hazardous storage of a firearm, breach of probation, failure to attend court or failure to comply with release orders. “This operation demonstrates the value of proactive enforcement and strong partnerships,” says Sgt. Chelsea Karpenko with the Calgary Police Service (CPS). “This work does not stop here. Investigators from the CPS and Alberta Sheriffs continue to actively pursue additional wanted individuals using intelligence gathered throughout this operation. Hold
