RCMP arrest 12 in Stony Plain human trafficking operation
An RCMP patch is seen on the shoulder of an assistant commissioner, in Surrey, B.C., on Friday, April 28, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Police say they have arrested a dozen people following a human trafficking operation in the Stony Plain area. The 12 arrested were charged with obtaining sexual services for consideration, Parkland RCMP said in a statement on Thursday. Because the charges have yet to be sworn in court, names of those arrested cannot be shared. They have been released with court dates pending in Stony Plain. 'Human trafficking is a heinous crime that predominantly impacts young women and girls who are compelled or forced to engage in for-profit sex acts,' said Insp. Kevin McGillivray. 'The arrests made during this operation highlight the fact there are those who would seek to exploit and benefit from trafficked individuals.'

Police watchdog investigating Abbotsford arrest
Investigators from B.C.'s Independent Investigations Office are seen in this file photo from the IIO. A man may have been seriously harmed during an arrest in Abbotsford earlier this week, prompting an investigation by the province's police watchdog. Police were called to the 32400 block of Emeral Drive around 11 a.m. Monday for reports 'a man was behaving erratically and in possession of a weapon in a residential area,' the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. said in a statement. 'Officers responded and arrested the man. He was then taken to a local hospital for treatment,' the statement continued. The Abbotsford Police Department, in a statement of its own, provided more details, saying the man was wielding a knife and was 'entering residential yards, approaching occupied vehicles, and appeared to be in an agitated state.' Police fired less-lethal beanbag rounds while making the arrest, according to the department. The IIO's investigation will first determine if the man suffered an injury that meets the threshold of 'serious harm' under B.C.'s Police Act. If that bar is met, an investigation will determine whether it was a result of police action or inaction. The IIO looks into all police-involved incidents that result in death or serious harm, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing. Anyone who witnessed the arrest is being urged to call the IIO at 1-855-446-8477.

B.C. police watchdog calls hearing into officers' ‘racist, sexist' WhatsApp group
Prabhu Rajan speaks in Pembroke, Ont., on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. British Columbia's Police Complaint Commissioner says he's called a public hearing to probe misconduct allegations against three current and three former Nelson police officers over alleged racist, sexist and inappropriate comments made in a private WhatsApp chat CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick British Columbia's Police Complaint Commissioner says he's called a public hearing to probe misconduct allegations against three current and three former Nelson police officers over alleged racist, sexist and inappropriate comments made in a private WhatsApp chat group. Prabhu Rajan says the allegations 'go to the heart of public trust in policing' and the public hearing will also delve into a constitutional challenge filed in court last year by five of the subject officers. A notice of public hearing from Rajan's office says the court case hasn't moved forward since it was filed in August 2024, and a retired judge appointed as an adjudicator will have the power under B.C.'s Police Act 'to decide all necessary questions of fact and law ... including constitutional challenges.' The notice says the alleged misconduct dates back to March 2019, when the officers were members of a group chat where they shared 'racist, sexist, or other discriminatory or inappropriate content.' It says a police discipline authority in February 2023 found that the officers 'appeared to have committed discreditable conduct' by participating in the group chat, but Rajan says the case hasn't been resolved due to delays related to the legal challenge. The notice says no dates for the public hearing have been set, but it 'will start on the earliest practicable date.' 'Important issues are at stake in this case,' the notice says. 'Indeed, increasing attention is being paid across Canada and elsewhere to whether police or other professionals commit misconduct if they post or engage with discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate content in chat groups they consider to be private.' Current Officers Adam Sutherland, Nathaniel Holt and Sarah Hannah, as well as former Nelson officers Jason Anstey and Robert Armstrong all say in affidavits filed in B.C. Supreme Court that they 'considered that the WhatsApp group was private and would remain private.' This report by, The Canadian Press, was first published June 26, 2025.
