The Kingston Police, along with partner agencies are continuing to investigate the recent cyber incident that has impacted our organization.

On Thursday, January 30, 2025, members of the Kingston Police Drug Enforcement Unit concluded a month-long investigation into fentanyl trafficking at an apartment building in the area of Montreal Street and John Counter Boulevard.

In a separate operation initiated by the Kingston Police Street Crime Unit in early January 2025, officers collaborated with the Kingston Police Emergency Response Unit to execute a drug warrant at a residence in the area of Rideau Street and Cataraqui Street area on February 6, 2025.

Kingston police wish to remind citizens not to leave valuables in their vehicles and be sure to lock their doors. These types of thefts are usually thefts of opportunity. Someone trying door handles will enter unlocked parked vehicles and steal anything of value. On rare occasions a thief may smash a window or cause damage to get into a locked vehicle, especially if something of value can been seen from the outside. This forced entry creates a greater chance of the thief being caught due to the noise and is therefore far less common. 

A Kingston resident has now been charged in connection with home invasions in Kingston and on Wolfe Island.

The Kingston Police are warning the public about an on-going telephone scam commonly known as a “grandparent” or “emergency” scam. Police have noted an increase in reports regarding this scam. 

On Sunday, February 9, 2025, at approximately 7:30 p.m., 25-year-old Dylan DOEY, a prisoner from Henry Traill Community Correctional Centre, located on Bath Rd near Centennial Dr, escaped the facility and fled east towards the area of Bayswater Pl and Queen Mary Rd.

While officially outside of their jurisdiction, Kingston Police, along with counterparts Lennox and Addington O.P.P., were the away hockey team as they took on the Napanee District Secondary School Golden Hawks February 7^th for a friendly competition, with the ultimate goal to support local organizations.

The Kingston Police are continuing to navigate the cyber incident which has affected some of our IT systems and our non-emergency functions. 

Beginning in December 2024, members of the Kingston Police Street Crime Unit commenced an investigation into fentanyl and cocaine trafficking occurring in an apartment complex in the Dalton Avenue and Division Street area. 

As previously indicated the recent cyber incident has affected some of our IT systems and our non-emergency functions. While a timeline for recovery is evolving, the Kingston Police is committed to resolving the situation as efficiently and effectively as possible, and we have the right resources in place to do so.
