Kingston Police - Intoxicated Male Damages Window, Combative with Emergency Responders and Medical Staff | Home Page

Intoxicated Male Damages Window, Combative with Emergency Responders and Medical Staff 16-5372 An 18-year-old local male pushed the limits of his alcoholic intake to the point where he damaged an apartment building window, began spitting at police and medical staff, and ultimately found himself charged and in cells. At approximately 8:45 p.m. on February 25th Kingston Police were dispatched to a Milford Drive apartment building for an intoxicated male banging on the windows of various residents. Kingston Fire & Rescue and Frontenac Paramedics were already on scene and attending to the highly intoxicated man who had trouble walking and standing upright. Police determined from witnesses the man had been stumbling around outside and banging on multiple windows. He had put enough pressure on a hallway window to damage it and shove it inwards. The male was initially taken to hospital but became combative with staff, attempting to kick at a nurse and repeatedly spitting in the direction of medical staff and police. A spit shield was used and placed over the subject to stop him from striking personnel with bodily fluid. He continued to yell and swear inside the hospital and his legs had to be restrained. Once medically cleared Kingston Police arrested the man for Mischief under $5,000 and Breach of Probation. He was transported to police headquarters and lodged in cells to attend a bail hearing the following day.

Kingston Police - Suspects in Canadian Tire Theft Later Caught with Stolen Knife and Hatchet | Home Page

Suspects in Canadian Tire Theft Later Caught with Stolen Knife and Hatchet 16-5364 A pair of thieves who probably thought they had made a clean getaway and were later located and arrested by Kingston Police, made the collection of evidence easier by still being in possession of their ill-gotten gains. At approximately 7:00 p.m. on February 25th a west-end Canadian Tire employee observed two men acting suspiciously in the camping aisle and when she and another male worker attempted to stop them as they exited the store one began to flee on foot while another attempted to leave in a vehicle. The employee was quick-witted to obtain the licence plate number of the vehicle. While they spoke to this male he had no photo identification and was not in possession of any stolen property. A later review of the video surveillance footage inside the store verified the men had stolen a machete-style knife, a hatchet and a pair of headphones. Kingston Police were called and uniform patrol officers began to investigate. The licence plate was run on the MTO databank system and the registered owner of the suspect vehicle was determined by officers to belong to the girlfriend of one of the men. They attended her Division Street address, located the car and noticed it appeared to have been recently driven. Obtaining the name of the woman’s boyfriend Kingston Police located a mug shot on file and matched it to the video surveillance footage as being the same person. As officers were coming around from the rear of the Division Street building they noticed the one suspect bicycling towards the residence accompanied by another male wearing a hoodie. Officers spoke to the two men and verified the male wearing the hoodie was the second suspect in the store video footage. A bag was then noticed hanging from the handlebars of the bicycle, which contained the hatchet and knife stolen from Canadian Tire. Both local men, 28 and 39 years of age, were arrested, transported to police headquarters, and held overnight to attend a bail hearing the following day. They are jointly charged with Theft and Possession of Stolen Property under $5,000. The 28-year-old is additionally being charged with Breach of Probation. The recovered items will be returned to the store and the headphones apparently were lost when the 28-year-old was fleeing from store personnel.

Kingston Police - Scams where Fraudsters Impersonating Canada Revenue Agency Continue |...

Scams where Fraudsters Impersonating Canada Revenue Agency Continue Kingston Police continue to receive calls from community members who are being contacted by scammers pretending to be collectors from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). There are various scams being used, some looking for personal or banking information, or others outright demanding money relating to fictitious debt to the CRA. This can involve threatening or coercive language. Strategies have included actually meeting the targeted victim to receive money or having them send funds through a money order or transfer. Other conversations urge taxpayers to visit a fake CRA website where the taxpayer is then asked to verify their identity by entering personal information. These are scams and taxpayers should never respond to these fraudulent communications or click on any of the links provided. Tracing these phone calls or identifying suspects in these cases are often difficult, so education and prevention are key in such scams. If a citizen receives a similar call simply hang-up and do not provide any personal information over the phone. Kingston Police can be contacted to file a report if a person has actually lost money or goods. Any information relating to deceptive telemarketing or similar scams can be reported to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) online http://bit.ly/UuULlO or by calling 1-888-495-8501. They can also be found on Twitter at @canantifraud or on Facebook here: Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre / Centre antifraude du Canada For more information on specific CRA-related scams, what the CRA will and won’t do, in terms of recognizing their legitimate business practices, and additional contact resources please check the website of the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre: http://bit.ly/1T0RCxD March is Fraud Prevention Month and Kingston Police, working in conjunction with the CAFC, will continue to raise public awareness and assist in preventing Canadians from becoming victims of fraud.

Throwback Thursdays Historic Images

KINGSTON POLICE SEEKING HISTORIC IMAGES LEADING UP TO 175th ANNIVERSARY Kingston Police continues to prepare for its celebration of 175 years of community service within the Limestone City. Established in 1841, Kingston Police is one of the oldest police services within Ontario. To recognize this milestone various events have been planned in 2016, including a gala, the hosting of the North American Police Equestrian Championships, the Great Lakes Police Motorcycle Training Seminar and Competition, an anniversary celebration at police headquarters on December 20, and more. Proceeds from these events will go towards Youth Diversion, Special Olympics and other worthwhile organizations. As part of the planning senior management and anniversary committee members want to embrace and celebrate its history. Photographic archives have been collected internally and Kingston Police hopes to post some of these publicly in such forms as a “Throwback Thursday” on our website and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Just as important, Kingston Police is aware that retired personnel, families of officers past and present, and even citizens themselves have images of our members in action within the community. While a policy is still being drafted on the receiving and handling of tangible archival material and artifacts, the Media Relations office is currently asking members of the public to send any digital copies of images to media@kpf.ca . If a person wishes to provide a description of the photo, especially if an officer can be identified by name, and if they wish to have a photographic credit included with the photo if shared publicly, please include this in the email.
