During a daylight break and enter on Sept. 14, police said it is believed two men entered a home in the 100 block of Copperfield Heights S.E. before making off with multiple firearms.

In total, nine handguns, four rifles and the badge of a retired Calgary Police Service member were all stolen.

Inspector Mike Bossley with the CPS Investigative Operations Section said retired officers are allowed to purchase and keep their service badges. Bossley said retired badges are marked with a special “retired insignia,” but the missing badge could still pose a risk to Calgarians.

“Anytime an officer’s badge is stolen or goes missing, we want to ensure that the public is aware of such an occurrence,” Bossley said. “The big thing is, if anybody ever questions or is concerned about a police officer’s identity, they should call the Calgary Police Service to determine whether or not that person is an active member of the Calgary Police Service.”
