Last year, Const. Eric-Alexandre Berry nominated citizen Thomas Henwood for a Chief’s Award of Exceptional Recognition – Life Saving after he pulled a driver from a smoke-filled vehicle. 🫡   Without hesitation, Thomas put himself at risk, entering the thick smoke to bring the driver to safety. Moments later the vehicle became fully engulfed in flames. Without Thomas’s actions, the driver could have suffered a serious injury or death.   Thomas was invited to be recognized at the Chief’s Awards Gala held on Friday, April 24, 2026.   However, weeks before the event, he received medical news that prevented him from attending.   🏅 To ensure his actions did not go unrecognized, the Calgary Police Service Rewards & Recognition team arranged a private presentation at his home, where Chief Katie McLellan personally presented him with his award & a challenge coin.   His story is an inspiring reminder of the impact that one individual’s courage can have in saving a life. ❤️   👏 We would also like to thank Const. Berry who took the time to nominate Thomas to ensure his life-saving efforts were recognized & celebrated.

Today, we remember fallen member Inspector Joe Carruthers, who died in the line of duty when he confronted a burglary suspect in an alley. As Insp. Carruthers raised his flashlight, the suspect opened fire. A bullet passed through his chest & was killed. His killer was never found. To honour his memory & recognize the ultimate sacrifice, an internal service of remembrance was held. The life of a police officer can be ended at a moment’s notice. Their loss shall be forever remembered.

On Thursday, June 11, 2026, community members stopped by the District 5 office to connect, share kind words & show encouragement. These gestures, whether conversations or baked goods, mean more than we can fully express & remind us of the strong relationships we have with the communities we serve. From District 5 & the rest of the Service, thank you for being such an amazing community. Your support makes a difference & is truly appreciated.

On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, our Indigenous Relations Team & members of the Indigenous community gathered at Heritage Park for a pipe ceremony to honour & cleanse the Chief’s Tipi to start the summer season in a respectful way.   The ceremony reflected the deep cultural & spiritual significance of the tipi & the teachings it carries. We are grateful to the Elders & Knowledge Keepers who led the gathering & shared their traditions in such a meaningful way.   During National Indigenous History Month, we continue to recognize & honour the histories, traditions & ongoing contributions of First Nations, Inuit & Métis peoples. We remain committed to walking this path in a good way, guided by community & grounded in respect. 🤝

Abuse thrives in silence. We encourage Calgarians to: 🔷 Learn the signs of abuse and how to safely support someone who may be experiencing violence. 🔷 Listen without judgment and respond with empathy if someone shares their experience. 🔷 Letting them know you believe them can make a meaningful difference. 🔷 Promote healthy, respectful relationships with children & youth by talking openly about boundaries & safety. 🔷 Support organizations working to assist individuals & families impacted by abuse. Anyone experiencing abuse or violence in family or intimate relationships is encouraged to seek support in ways that feel safe for them. Free, confidential help is available by calling 211.

🔵 CHARGE LAID 🔵 One man has been charged after a stabbing that occurred in the southwest community of Woodlands last month. 📍On Friday, May 22, 2026, at around 9:30 p.m., police responded to reports of a stabbing outside of a residence in the 1800 block of Woodview Drive S.W. It is believed that the victim was outside of his residence when approached by a neighbour who had been making escalating racial remarks to him over the course of several weeks. The neighbour once again said racial slurs to the man before stabbing him twice in the face. The victim returned to his residence & called the police. The victim, a man in his 40s, was transported to hospital with minor injuries. He has since recovered. Due to the elements of the altercation, our Hate Crime Prevention Team was engaged. After an investigation into the assault, hate motivation has been deemed to have been a factor in the assault. 📌 As a result, Emilio Francesco PEDICINO, 41, of Calgary, has been charged with 1 count of assault with a weapon. He will next appear in court on Friday, July 3, 2026. Hate-motivated crimes are recognizable crimes, like assault, theft, vandalism or any other crime, where the offender was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on one of 9 personal characteristics of the victim. A hate motivation does not result in any additional charges, but any evidence of it is considered by the courts after a person is found guilty of the connected crime. If the judge decides during sentencing that hate was a motivation for the offence, it is an aggravating factor that can add to the convicted person’s sentence. 🔗 If you see hate, report it. Online reporting of hate-motivated crimes and incidents can be now be reported online by visiting reporthate.ca.
