Thanking our Kingston Police Community Volunteers during National Volunteer Week Release Date: April 19, 2021 This year’s theme for National Volunteer Week (NVW) 2021 is The Value of One, The Power of Many.... As the Kingston Police recognize the collective efforts of volunteers, we reflect on the multitude of actions taken locally to help people within our community and neighbourhoods become better prepared to respond to unexpected events, such as this past year’s pandemic, and better positioned for a more sustainable future. Kingston Police wishes to specifically recognize the continuing altruistic efforts of the Kingston Police Community Volunteers (KPCV). This May marks a major milestone for the KPCV. They will have been serving the Kingston community for 25 years. Over those 25 years the KPCV have grown from 20 members to 70 volunteers. Prior to the pandemic the KPCV averaged 6,000-7,000 hours per year of volunteering within the community. A usual year, pre-pandemic, would also see the KPCV attending over 100 special events in the Kingston area as well as conducting general eyes and ears patrols throughout the community. The KPCV is on call 24/7 to respond to city wide emergencies and have attended to assist with such memorable events as the ice storm in 1998 and the widespread power outage in 2003. They have also assisted in high profile missing person searches, most notably the search for Patty Ann Killingbeck which spanned over five years. The KPCV have been incredibly involved with community service events including the Special Olympics, Ride for Dad, Police Memorial runs and many other charitable walks and runs throughout the city where they have provided safe passage for the participants. Kingston Police is extremely proud of the accomplishments of the KPCV over this past quarter century and, during this week especially, wish to express their sincere gratitude for the selflessness and dedication that the organization has brought to our community. Our volunteers, which also include the incredibly talented Kingston Police Pipe Band, are an indispensable resource and it is important that they receive the recognition they so undoubtedly deserve. Happy National Volunteer Week 2021!

Kingston Police respond to new COVID-19 restrictions On April 16, 2021, the Government of Ontario announced new restrictions, including a two-week extension of the current province-wide stay-at-home order, in order to stop the rapid growth of COVID-19 case rates. It also announced enhanced enforcement measures for police officers under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA), to restrict mobility in order to stop the spread of COVID-19. The Kingston Police... will review the new regulations once released by the government, to determine the most appropriate response for those not in compliance. However, at this time, our current enforcement response will remain the same both complaint driven or proactive, with the goal of gaining compliance. Those who refuse to comply will receive the appropriate penalty. Chief of Police Antje McNeely remarks, Members of the Kingston Police will not be conducting random vehicle or pedestrian stops. We will continue with traffic enforcement, engaging with members of the public and responding to calls for service, to keep our community safe. We will continue to do so in a fair and equitable manner. It is important to reiterate that everyone in our community has a role to play in stopping the spread and transmission of COVID-19, and that includes staying at home unless for essential reasons, and practicing public health guidelines. As always, we will be working collaboratively with the City of Kingston and KFL&A Public Health in response to the ever-changing nature of this pandemic. Thank you to our members for keeping our community safe. Thank you to the citizens of Kingston for abiding by the stay-at-home order and doing your part in stopping the spread.

Police warn of cybercriminals using PDF files as a new phishing lure Release Date: April 22, 2021 Cybercriminals have a new favorite phishing lure: PDF files. A PDF is a standard file type that presents text and images in their original format regardless of which program you use to open the file. Unfortunately, this makes the use of PDFs a great way for cybercriminals to get creative and trick victims into clicking on malicious links. ... One common tactic for phishing with PDF files is to include an image that looks like something that you should interact with. The PDF may include a fake captcha image with the I am not a robot checkbox. Or the PDF may include an image of a paused video with a play button over the display. If you try to click the captcha checkbox or play the phony video, you’ll actually be clicking a link to a malicious website. Don’t fall for these tricks! Remember the following tips: Never click or download an attachment in an email that you were not expecting. Remember that cybercriminals can use more than just links within emails to phish for your information. Always think before you click! If you receive a suspicious email at your workplace, be sure to contact your IT department or follow the specific procedure for your organization. Stop, look, and think. Don't be fooled by the scammers.

Recognizing romance scams Release Date: February 11, 2021 Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Kingston Police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre have seen an increase in online scams that target individuals in isolation due to the lock downs and travel restrictions. This includes fraudsters targeting people looking for companionship or love through dating sites and social media.... With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Kingstonians should be on the lookout for Romance Scams. In 2020 alone, Canadians lost more than $18.5 million to this scam. In Romance Scams, fraudsters will gain the trust of the victim by carrying on a relationship over a period of time. This can include displays of affection, such as, sending gifts, flowers and tokens to prove that their feelings are genuine. In many cases, the fraudster will claim to be professional business people or military personnel that are travelling or stationed abroad. Once trust is gained, fraudsters will begin to ask for financial assistance for reasons like urgent situations (e.g. a sick family member or to complete a business transaction) or to return to the country (e.g. plane ticket, lawyer fees, or duty & taxes). Warning Signs Attempts to meet in person never happen, there’s always an excuse why they can’t meet. Fraudsters want to develop a quick relationship with you. Be suspicious when someone you haven’t met professes their love to you. Be cautious of an individual that claims to live close to you but is working overseas. This is a set up for the fraudster to provide you with many reasons to ask for money. If you are asked to accept a payment from someone you’ve met online and send a part of the funds back to them or someone else - don’t do it! A growing trend being noticed is the fraudster asking you to invest in a new business venture or cryptocurrency. How to protect yourself Never, under any circumstances, send money to someone you’ve never met. Protect your personal and financial information. Do not share personal or financial information with anyone you’ve only met online. Never send intimate photos or videos of yourself. They could be used to blackmail you. Do a reverse image search of any photos you are sent to see if they have been taken from a stock photo site or someone else’s online profile. Do not travel to another country to meet someone for the first time. This is often a setup to get you to partake in criminal activities with risks of injury, arrest or even death. Learn more tips and tricks for protecting yourself. If you think you or someone you know has been a victim of fraud, please contact the Kingston Police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or report online at buff.ly/2YCpo3v.

Four arrested and charged after Kingston’s largest seizure of the deadly drug carfentanil Release Date: February 11, 2021 21-4711/21-4347 In late January 2021, members of the Kingston Police Street Crime Unit began an investigation into drug trafficking and illegal weapons possession in the Rideau Heights neighbourhood in Kingston’s north end. Two properties were identified in this investigation, both of which were in close proximity to two elementary schools. ... On February 10, 2021 officers obtained two Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants as well as a Criminal Code search warrant for these two addresses and an involved vehicle. Kingston Police Street Crime Unit members, along with the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Unit and the Emergency Response Unit, executed these search warrants on February 10, 2021. Both named people in the warrants were located inside the residence identified as the primary location for the drug trafficking activity. Additionally, two small children were located inside the home at the time of warrant execution. These children were located within feet of a bag of illegal drugs that included both fentanyl, and the more lethal drug, carfentanil. The arrested parties at this location were charged with five drug trafficking related charges, as well as possession of proceeds of crime. One additional charge was laid on one of the parties in relation to a prohibited weapon found inside the residence. At the second location, which was believed to be a ‘stash house’, two more parties were located and arrested with a quantity of fentanyl. These parties were charged with possession of a schedule I substance (fentanyl). The following items were seized in relation to the execution of the three warrants: various quantities of fentanyl, carfentanil, cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, Xanax pills, codeine pills, $7045.00 in Canadian currency, drug packaging, six replica firearms and one prohibited weapon. The street value of the drugs seized was approximately $30,000. This is believed to be Kingston Police’s largest seizure of carfentanil. Carfentanil is 100 times more potent than fentanyl, and it is believed that the carfentanil was being used to make the fentanyl more potent therefore making it even more lethal.

Police warn the community about scammers pretending to be Hydro One representatives Release Date: February 10, 2021 Of late, scammers purporting to be representatives of Hydro One in the Kingston area have been calling members of the public requesting that they make a payment for overdue or delinquent accounts. The scammers further threaten to cut off their hydro services if victims choose not to pay. ... The scammers ask the victims to make this payment in Bitcoin or by using gift cards. In one recent scam, being investigated by the Kingston Police Fraud Unit, scammers, posing as representatives from Hydro One, were able to fraudulently coerce the victim into paying $5000. This scam appears to be cyclical with the scammers targeting Kingston every few months before moving on to a different community not dissimilar to the Canadian Revenue Agency phone scams that target our community on a nearly bimonthly basis. Police are reminding the public that reputable companies like Hydro One would never ask for a payment to be made with Bitcoin or gift cards. Scammers are often able to spoof phone numbers so that the incoming call appears to come from a legitimate business or local area code. Police ask that members of the community inform family and friends about these ongoing phone scams. If you question whether the call is legitimate trust your instincts and hang up. You can then visit the company’s website to obtain current contact information and reach out to their customer service department with any questions or concerns and to verify the validity of the call that you received. You can also contact Kingston Police with questions or concerns if you receive such calls. If you have been the victim of one of these phone scams please call the Kingston Police Fraud Unit at 613-549-4660.

Police urge social responsibility and self-accountability this coming weekend Release Date: October 15, 2020 On any given previous year tomorrow would have signaled the start of a long honoured tradition, Queen’s Homecoming weekend. This year, unlike any year before it, has spelled the end to what Kingstonians perceive as normal due to Ontario being in the midst of the current COVID-19 pandemic. ... This year Kingston Police is working with the City of Kingston, Queens University, KFL&A Public Health and other Community Partners to help ensure the safety of our community and its citizens this weekend. Kingston Police has scheduled an additional contingent of officers to work throughout the weekend to ensure frontline patrol can adequately respond to their regular calls for service throughout the city. Our priority is the safety of our community during this pandemic and significant enforcement tools have been provided by the province to ensure that members of the public are abiding by current rules and restrictions. As the public is now well aware there are limits to the number of individuals that can gather both inside and in outdoor spaces. No more than 10 people can gather inside a residence and no more than 25 can gather outdoors. A minimum fine of $10,000 can be issued under the ROA (Reopening Ontario Act) to any host or organizer of a gathering that exceeds the specified numbers of individuals permitted. Additionally, under the ROA, guests and participants at locations that are found to be in contravention of the act can be issued a fine of $880. Anyone participating in activities contravening the current regulations should expect substantial penalties as a consequence of poor choices and behaviour. Aside from provincial emergency orders Kingston Police will also continue to enforce liquor licence violations and nuisance party and noise bylaws, with penalties ranging from $100 up to $2,000. Kingston Police and its partners are hopeful that members of the public take the increasing number of those infected throughout the province with COVID-19 seriously and do their part in helping to reduce the unnecessary spread of the virus within our community. #QueensHomecoming #QueensU @QueensYGKAlumni @QueensAMS @cityofkingston #ygk

Amazing day for Shop With a Cop! We had 20+ officers, Kingston Fire & Rescue members, and even some spouses attend. While due to pandemic restrictions we couldn...’t have the children attend with us this year, we didn’t want to spoil what we hope are happier holidays by being able to shop for over 40 children. We reached out to the local schools to find some worthy applicants and a shopping list for their families (and a little something for themselves) was created ahead of time. With generous private donations, assistance from our own Kingston Police Association, and contributions from the Cataraqui Centre, its various stores, and Starbucks and Indigo, we were able to spend $200 on each child, plus a book for themselves and every one of their family members! We will be wrapping and delivering the gifts later on. Thanks to Cst. Jen Knott (wearing the reindeer antlers) for organizing the day and to Constables Sue Carr, Sarah Groenewegen, and Judy Closset for greatly assisting. A special shout out as well to Rhonda Mosher from the Cataraqui Centre for all of her help and support. Another successful, while unique, year for Shop With a Cop!

On #RemembranceDay all of us at Kingston Police wish to honour, acknowledge and pay tribute to the ultimate sacrifice made by so many fallen members of the Canadian Armed Forces. #CanadaRemembers #LestWeForget

Kingston Police proud to support the sixth annual Shop with a Cop event Release Date: November 20, 2020 On November 23, 2020 Kingston Police will be holding the sixth annual Shop with a Cop event in Kingston. This program was developed locally by Kingston Police officers, but is also run by major police services across Canada. ... In previous years this event has connected local students and police officers for a shopping experience at the Cataraqui Centre. Prior to the event, students are either nominated or make a submission to be selected for the Shop with a Cop program. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and safety concerns surrounding the spread of the virus, the decision was made to have police officers do the shopping for the 40 students from grade seven and eight who were selected for the program and have already provided their Christmas shopping lists to police. Prior to this year selected participants have been picked up from school by a uniform police officer on the morning of the event. They have then been transported to the Cataraqui Centre in a police vehicle where they have had breakfast with Kingston Police officers and then have spent a few hours shopping at the mall for family members and themselves. Students who have been chosen based on their submissions and nominations from the community are being provided a $200 gift card for the Cataraqui Centre, who have generously supported this program since its inception. In addition to the generous donations of gift cards from the Cataraqui Centre the Princess Street Loblaws is also supplying a delicious Christmas dinner for the participants. This event has always provided an opportunity for youth and police officers to connect in a positive way and to foster new relationships within the community. Although police will be shopping this year without their student companions Kingston Police is proud to support such a meaningful program and help to ring in the holiday spirit!

This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for you! Kingston Police is hiring Police Constables. Next Recruitment Event is coming soon, October 21, details here: https://buff.ly/2WCQEgm #policefoundations #futurepoliceofficer #policecareer #jobs #ygk

Recommendations on how to be prepared for future cybersecurity threats Release Date: November 19, 2020 New innovations in technology are being developed at a rapid rate. But new technology comes with new risks. Here are some examples of how technology will change in the future and ways that you and your family can stay safe. ... 5G Cellular Networks You may think a cellular network is only used for cell phones, but it can also be used for GPS devices, wifi hotspots, logistics tracking, and more. 5G stands for the fifth generation of cellular networking. In short, 5G is a dramatically faster and more stable way to connect to the internet. While this is great for connectivity, it could be a major struggle for cybersecurity. Current security monitoring methods may not be strong enough for the speed and amount of traffic created on a 5G network. The Internet of Things The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a network of connected devices designed to work together using an internet connection. A common example of this is the use of smart devices in the home. Smart devices connect and communicate with one another using your wifi network. IoT is being used and developed across a number of industries, from healthcare to logistics. Each device within an IoT network is a potential risk. As more devices are connected to one another, a home or organization’s attack surface grows. Meaning, there are more targets for cybercriminals to attack and more points of entry to protect. As these networks grow, it is essential that cybersecurity measures grow with them. Here are some safety tips for both now and later: Stay informed. No matter what the future holds, it is always harder to fool an educated person. Follow trusted news and media outlets for the latest updates in technology and cybersecurity. Be suspicious. As technology changes, scammers will find new ways to attack. If something doesn’t look or feel right, it likely isn’t. It is better to be safe than sorry. Time travel to the past. Maybe technology isn’t quite there yet, but you can use classic communication to outsmart scammers. For example, if you receive a suspicious email, reach out to the sender by phone to verify that it’s legitimate. Stop, look, and think. Don't be fooled by the scammers.

Police warning community about scammers prepping for Amazon Prime Day scams Release Date: October 14, 2020 Once a year, Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, hosts a massive sales event called Prime Day. Usually set in July, the highly awaited two-day event was postponed until October 13th and 14th this year. While you get ready to shop Prime Day deals, the scammers are getting ready to scam you any way they can.... Kingston Police is advising that throughout the country there has been a large spike in phony websites using the Amazon brand. One example uses the URL www.amazoncustomersupport[.]net. The page is an Amazon look-alike site that claims to help with refunds and order cancellations. All you have to do is provide your order number and credit card information, or so they say. In reality, anything you enter on this page is delivered directly to the scammers who are then able to use your personal information. Follow these tips to safely shop the Prime Day event: Go directly to Amazon.com to shop. This is the only way to be sure that you are shopping on the real Amazon. Never trust a link in an email that you were not expecting. The scammers will be sending sneaky phishing emails that direct you to these phony Amazon pages. Look for anything out of the ordinary. For example, Amazon will never ask you to re-enter saved payment information. Stop, look, and think. Don't be fooled by the scammers.

Police warn that infamous July Twitter hack inspires new phishing attacks Release Date: October 13, 2020 This past July, Twitter fell victim to an infamous social engineering attack. The attack gave hackers control of over one hundred high-profile accounts, from politicians to celebrities. The hackers used these accounts to scam Twitter followers out of money. Now, cybercriminals are using this event as bait for a convincing phishing scam.... Kingston Police is warning that the phishing email uses text that is very similar to the official statement that Twitter made in response to the July attack. The email claims that due to a security breach, you must confirm your identity by clicking on a link in the email. If you click the link, you are redirected to a site that looks very similar to the real Twitter login page. The site is actually a look-alike designed to steal your login credentials. Any information that you enter on this page is delivered straight to the scammers. Don’t be fooled. Follow these tips: Never click on a link within an email that you weren’t expecting. When you’re asked to log in to an account or online service, navigate to the official website and log in. That way, you can ensure you’re logging in to the real site and not a phony look-alike. Email security filters can only do so much to protect you from malicious emails. Stay alert and help create a human firewall for you or your organization's email inbox. Stop, look, and think. Don't be fooled by the scammers.

Police issue alert to parents in regards to recent staged fights involving teenagers Release Date: October 13, 2020 Kingston Police is issuing an alert to parents of secondary school aged teenagers in the area to be aware of staged fights that have been taking place throughout the community. ... These staged fights are organized via social media, mostly through the Snapchat app. The fights are openly organized for teens that simply want to fight someone else or often times can be in regards to disputes over a boyfriend or girlfriend. On other occasions these fights originate after an individual or group bullies an individual into becoming involved in an altercation. The fights are usually planned well in advance and advertised through social circles therefore at times there can be up to 40-50 individuals in attendance. Some of the fights begin as one on one consensual altercations however have been known to quickly escalate to involve multiple individuals attacking one sole victim. During these altercations, that generally occur after school hours or on weekends, some victims are even robbed of personal property following the fight. Many of these fights, if not all of them, are recorded on cell phone video by others in attendance and then posted on social media platforms. Although this is not a completely new phenomenon, the fights as of late appear to be predominantly occurring in Kingston’s west end and have even taken place at the mall and library. Police are concerned that one of the involved participants will be seriously injured in one of these confrontations and is asking for parents to sit down with their teens to discuss the consequences of being involved in these kinds of activities. Not only can one or more of the participants be charged with a provincial trespassing charge, depending on where the fight has taken place, but criminal charges of causing a disturbance by fighting and assault could also be applicable and warranted given the circumstances. Please have that one on one talk with your teen tonight.
