Overview
- Calgary police responding to a school alarm early Sunday, May 3, used a dog that bit a female suspect during a search inside Glamorgan School.
- Officers had seen a smashed window and broken glass, then withdrew and re-entered the building with the canine after announcing their presence.
- Paramedics took the suspect to Alberta Children’s Hospital for treatment, and investigators have not confirmed whether she is a minor.
- The Police Review Commission labeled the case a Level 1 incident under the Police Act, which put ASIRT, an independent civilian unit, in charge.
- ASIRT asked witnesses or anyone with relevant video to call 780-644-1483, as the probe begins against the backdrop of a recent ruling that cleared an officer in a 2023 dog-bite case.
