The
Cobourg Police Service has both a rich
heritage in serving the town and policing from one
of the most historic buildings in Cobourg. Using
the best of the past and working in the present
and having its path in the future the CPS delivers
quality policing to the citizens of Cobourg.
Noted as the best
rated Police Service in Ontario in two out of the three
crime tracking categories collected by Statistics Canada
in 2002, the CPS is justifiably proud of the men and
women who serve!

Medal - Changes to the Two-Year Limit
On December 7th, 2007, MP Rick Norlock held a
Press Conference at our station advising that the Prime
Minister was changing the two year rule on the Cross
of Valour application. The rule will state that applications
must be submitted two years after any court case
or investigation is completed.
With this new rule put in place, this
allows for Cst. Chris Garrett's nomination to now be
reviewed by the Honours Committee.
Even though we have crossed a major hurdle
towards getting Cst. Chris Garrett the Cross of Valour,
there is still a ways to go.
All of your continued support towards
this cause is much appreciated and also thanks to our
Prime Minister for acting quickly once everything got
to him.

Garrett's nomination are on the 221 Tribute section

Sometime overnight on Tuesday, May 13 and Wednesday, May 14, a lawnmower and a bicycle were stolen from the rear of a King Street West apartment building.
The lawnmower is described as an Ariens Riding mower, 8 horsepower, orange in colour with a 30” cut. It is valued at $350.00.
Also stolen was a Men’s 18 speed bicycle, silver with beige paint on the front. No value was supplied to police for the bike.
On Tuesday, May 13 at approximately 8:20 p.m., Cobourg Police were called to an Alexandria Drive residence for a domestic dispute.
A young couple had been dating for a couple of years and recently ended the relationship. The fourteen year old female was at residence and had been consuming alcohol. An argument had taken place prior to the police arriving and several objects were scattered on the floor and a dish was broken.
The female was enraged with the police presence and she became belligerent and began yelling obscenities at police. She attempted to leave but was arrested by police. She struggled with police and kicked one officer in the leg. Police put her to the ground twice and each time police attempted to lift her up, she would jump up to her feet and smash her face and head against the wall.
Once in the police car, the swearing continued and she spit several times at the dividing partition and seat. She also kicked at the car window and she almost kicked the locked car door open.
She was still violent when officers reached the police office and officers needed to put leg shackles on her until she finally calmed down.
The 14 year old Cobourg teen has been charged with Assault Police with Intent to Resist Arrest, Mischief Under $5,000.00 and two counts of Willful Non-compliance of a probation order.
She was later released on a Promise To Appear in Cobourg Youth Court on Tuesday, June 17.
