Protecting yourself online goes beyond recognizing scams. During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we're sharing ways to improve your security & reduce your exposure to cyber threats. Consider implementing these tips to strengthen your online security: 🔵 Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible & use an authenticator app or security key instead of text message verification. 🔵 Use a password manager to create, store & manage strong, unique passwords for each account. 🔵 Keep your devices, web browsers & security software up to date by enabling automatic updates. 🔵 Turn on built-in browser security features, such as Google Safe Browsing or Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, to help detect & block suspicious websites. 🔵 Regularly review your account security settings & update passwords if you suspect an account has been compromised.

Taking a few extra seconds to slow down & look twice can save a life. Drivers play a critical role in preventing pedestrian collisions. It’s important to stay alert & anticipate pedestrians especially in intersections, crosswalks, playground zones & busy neighbourhoods. Drivers can help keep pedestrians safe by: ✅ Scanning crosswalks & sidewalks before proceeding through intersections. ✅ Slowing down in areas with high pedestrian traffic, including playground zones. ✅ Checking for pedestrians before turning left or right. ✅ Being extra cautious at night & in poor weather when visibility is reduced. ✅ Putting distractions away & keeping their eyes on the road.

🔎 NEED TO IDENTIFY 🔍 We are investigating an incident in which a woman allegedly impersonated a police officer during a traffic stop in N.E. Calgary. 📍 At approx. 3 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 5, 2026, a woman was travelling from Chestermere on westbound 16 Avenue N.E. when she noticed a black Toyota van with an aftermarket siren mounted on it following closely behind her. As she approached the intersection of 16 Avenue & 68 Street N.E., the van activated the siren, which sounded noticeably different from a traditional police siren. After stopping for a red light, the driver of the van exited the vehicle & approached the driver's side window, requesting the woman's driver's licence. The woman noticed the suspect was not displaying police insignia & questioned whether she was a police officer, asking to see police identification. The suspect then returned to the van & left the area. 🔎 The suspect is described as an Indigenous woman with medium-length black hair, wearing jeans. Safety tips: The law requires motorists to pull over when a police vehicle activates its emergency lights behind them. However, the Calgary Police Service reminds drivers of the following safety tips: 🔹 If you are unsure whether the person stopping you is a police officer, ask to see official identification or call 911 to confirm the officer's identity. 🔹 Most Calgary Police Service traffic stops are conducted by officers in marked vehicles or in unmarked vehicles driven by officers wearing full police uniforms. 🔹 Marked police vehicles are equipped with red & blue emergency lights on top & display the Calgary Police Service crest & the word "POLICE" on the sides. 🔹 Unmarked police vehicles use red & blue emergency lights located in the grille or inside the vehicle. 🔹 In rare circumstances, an officer in plain clothes may conduct a traffic stop in an unmarked vehicle. Such officers are required to carry police identification at all times. 🔹 Drivers should remain in their vehicle during a traffic stop unless directed otherwise by a police officer. 🔹 Police officers will identify themselves & will never demand money during a traffic stop. Anyone with information about this incident or who knows the identity of the suspect is asked to contact police. Information? ☎️ CPS: 403-266-1234 🛑 @stopcrimeyyc ⚖ Case #: CA26457990 | 5659
