Calgary police execute 170 warrants in fifth Operation Order

Calgary police say they executed 170 arrest warrants and charged 10 people during their fifth Operation Order, held across the city on Nov. 4, 2026. Police reported 18 charges in the operation targeting crime and social disorder.

Officers worked with Calgary Community Safety, Transit Public Safety, the Alberta Sheriffs, Emergency Health Services Alberta and community agencies. Their work included enforcing laws and bylaws, executing warrants, engaging with businesses and residents, and connecting people with support.

Police said their enforcement actions included attending 320 calls and issuing 99 summonses. They also reported 330 proactive community engagements and 165 referrals to social support and outreach services.

Arrests and cigarette seizure

In East Village, police arrested two people in connection with a robbery and possession of illegal cigarettes. Both were charged, and one was also found to be in breach of probation, police said.

In the downtown west end, officers encountered an illegal cigarette sale and seized 44 cartons containing more than 8,000 cigarettes. Police said the person was referred to Community Court alongside enforcement under Alberta’s Tobacco Tax Act.

In the Beltline, officers intervened after witnessing an assault in progress. Two people were arrested and charged with assault, according to police.

Transit encounter and housing referral

At City Hall CTrain station, transit peace officers recognized a person matching a recent RCMP missing-person report. Police said the officers detained the person for a bylaw offence and determined they had outstanding warrants.

Police also connected a woman who was seven months pregnant and needed housing with a bed reserved for police referrals at the Navigation Centre, where she could stay while seeking further support and longer-term housing.

Police said Operation Order is part of a broader public safety approach that also includes Safer Calgary – Operation CERTainty and the recently concluded Operation Restore.
