COVID-19 pandemic in Calgary has hit police as hard as the greater community.During a meeting of the Calgary Police Commission on Wednesday, the Calgary Police Service reported it has accumulated nearly double the positive cases among CPS members since the Omicron variant’s arrival in the province than during the entire pandemic before that.Between March 2020 and November 2021, 239 CPS members had tested positive for COVID-19.

In the last two months, 428 members tested positive. Alberta records 22 more COVID-19 deaths Currently, CPS has 61 active COVID-19 cases, with 83 per cent of those among sworn members.Deputy Cheif Raj Gill said 93.75 per cent of CPS members have been fully vaccinated with two or more doses.An internal analysis revealed of those members who tested positive for the coronavirus, 94 per cent had been vaccinated.“That number is reflective of what’s happening in the greater society, in terms of fully-vaccinated people that are testing positive for COVID,” Gill said.But the police service isn’t planning on changing its masking guidance.“We continue to follow the orders of the chief medical officer of health in Alberta and in addition to that, our occupational safety officers are examining every time we have a COVID-positive case — through our incident management team and our health nurse — to see if there’s any prevention efforts we could take in those environments,” the deputy chief said.

2021: A year in review with Calgary’s police chief At its peak, around 100 members had tested positive and around 50 were self-isolating, CPS Chief Mark Neufeld said, adding it’s been steady at an 80-20 split between sworn and civilian members.“The most challenging impact, of course, has been at the front line,”.

World leaders express outrage over Russia's 'barbaric attack' on Ukraine
BRUSSELS - World leaders expressed a raw outrage shrouded by an impotence to immediately come to the aid of Ukraine to avoid a major war in Europe, condemning Russia’s attack on its neighbor as the European Union and others promised unprecedented sanctions to hit the Kremlin.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called it a "barbaric attack" on an independent nation that also targeted "the stability in Europe and the whole of the international peace order." The EU will hold an emergency summit in Brussels, where NATO is also meeting after Poland and the Baltic nations bordering Russia and Ukraine called for an urgent session.But no one promised to move in militarily and defend Ukraine as it could touch off a major European war. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned anyone listening that any interference would "lead to consequences you have never seen in history."So instead, most of the world — but not China — condemned and threatened to hit the Russian elites with, in the words of EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, "the strongest package, the harshest package of sanctions we have ever implemented.""A major nuclear power has attacked a neighbor country and is threatening reprisals of any other states that may come to the rescue," Borrell said.
