OPERATION IMPACT 2026 | SAFETY IS IN YOUR HANDS

As we head into the Thanksgiving long weekend, the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force (KRPF) is joining police services across Canada in Operation Impact 2026, a national traffic safety initiative taking place October 9–12.

This campaign focuses on reducing preventable collisions, injuries and fatalities by encouraging safe and responsible driving.

Throughout the long weekend, police will focus on five driving behaviours that put road users at risk:

🚫 Impaired Driving – Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

📱 Distracted Driving – Put your phone away and keep your attention on the road.

🚗 Aggressive Driving – Obey speed limits, maintain a safe following distance and drive with patience.

😴 Fatigued Driving – Make sure you are well-rested before travelling and take breaks when needed.

✔️ Seatbelt Use – Buckle up and ensure everyone in your vehicle is properly secured.

Whether you’re travelling out of town for Thanksgiving or staying close to home, the choices you make behind the wheel affect everyone sharing the road.

Road safety is a shared responsibility. KRPF encourages all drivers to slow down, stay alert and make responsible decisions to help keep our roads safe.

This Thanksgiving weekend, let’s work together to make sure everyone gets home safely.

Safety is in YOUR hands.

Our Community. Our Commitment.

Fraud Alert: Callers Impersonating Banks and Financial Institutions

The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force (KRPF) is warning residents to remain vigilant following an increase in reports of attempted and successful frauds involving callers who are impersonating bank representatives.

Residents have recently reported receiving phone calls from numbers with the 876 area code.
The callers identify themselves as representatives of a bank or financial institution and attempt to obtain personal information, banking information, passwords, security codes, or other sensitive details.

The 876 area code may be mistaken for familiar toll-free numbers beginning with 1-800, 1-866 or 1-888. Fraudsters may exploit this resemblance to make their calls appear legitimate.

KRPF reminds residents that a legitimate bank representative will not ask you to provide your password, PIN, online banking credentials, or one-time security codes over an unsolicited telephone call.

If you receive an unexpected call from someone claiming to represent your bank, take the following precautions:
• Do not provide any personal or banking information.
• Do not provide verification codes or one-time security codes.
• If you are unsure about the call, hang up and contact your bank directly using the telephone number printed on your bank card or obtained from an official source.
• Do not rely on a telephone number provided by the caller.
• Be cautious of callers who create a sense of urgency or pressure you into making an immediate decision.
• Remember that caller ID can be manipulated and should not be relied upon as proof that a call is legitimate.

If you receive a call from an 876 number claiming to represent your bank or financial institution, do not share personal or financial information. Hang up and contact your institution using an official telephone number. If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, contact your financial institution and report the incident to police. You can also report fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or online at reportcyberandfraud.canada.ca⁠

When in doubt: Stop. Hang up. Verify.

The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force (KRPF) responded to a report of a serious incident at a residence in the Colton Brook Road area of Quispamsis at approximately 3:40 PM on September 27, 2026.

The initial information provided to police indicated that there was a potential threat at a residence, resulting in a significant police response. Upon further investigation, police determined that the information provided was false and that the incident was consistent with what is commonly referred to as a “swatting” incident—the intentional submission of false information to police in an effort to prompt an emergency police response.

There was no threat to the general public, and police have determined that there is no ongoing risk to residents in the area related to this incident.

KRPF reminds the public that intentionally providing false information to police, particularly information designed to generate an emergency response, is a serious matter and may result in criminal charges.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Police are asking anyone who has information that could help further the investigation is asked to contact the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force at 506-847-6300. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers, toll-free by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by submitting a secure web tip at www.crimenb.ca or by using the secure P3 Mobile app.
