April 29
- Police received a report of an intoxicated person on the street. Before police attended, the person obtained a ride home with a taxi.
- Police were advised that youth were on a roof at a local park.
- An officer located a vehicle driving with no lights on at night and conducted a traffic stop. The officer immediately noticed signs of impairment and determined the driver was impaired by alcohol. The driver was issued a driving prohibition and the vehicle was impounded.
April 30
- Police were advised of a noise complaint.
- Police conducted a check wellbeing. A person reported that they observed a man with a flashlight and a screw driver. The person reported they had watched "Breaking Bad" and since the man was sketchy and the RV had a smoker, this was obviously an ongoing meth cook. Officers attended and located two highly agitated men who were not happy to see police. Officers were familiar with both men and found this to be their normal behaviour, and left the men to their own devices. There were no signs of meth cooking at the location.
- Police were advised of a bylaw issue in a rural area. The complainant was advised that there is a bylaw officer for their area and was provided the contact information. The complainant was very happy to receive this information.
