The Calgary Police Service (CPS) has asked the public for help finding several items that were taken from a recruit’s vehicle, including several items belonging to the force.
Police said the CPS property was stolen from a 2015 Dodge Ram parked in the 0-100 block of Skyview Point Rise NE sometime between 4 p.m. on Monday and 7 a.m. on Tuesday.
“The truck belonged to a CPS recruit and taken was her duty bag which held handcuffs and keys, a set of soft body armour marked with “FTT” on the back, and a locked case that contained an inert (non-functioning) 40-calibre handgun and three 15-round magazines,” police said in a news release.

The recruit remains in training with CPS while this investigation continues.
