Fraud Arrest – R15-55182 
On July 27, 2015 Winnipeg Police Division 13 Investigators began an investigation into an allegation of fraud by 7 Oaks General Hospital.
           
Between June 29 and July 22, 2015 a male was employed by the hospital in the capacity of a Family Patient Care Manager. As a condition of employment the individual was required to be a licenced health care professional.

Concerns were raised about the validity of the accused's credentials. The College of Physiotherapists advised that the accused was not a licenced physiotherapist and the documentation provided to the hospital was likely forged. 7 Oaks Hospital immediately terminated the accused's employment and contacted police. The accused had been employed in a part-time administrative capacity and did not have contact with patients. 

On Tuesday, July 28th, 2015 investigators arrested a 30 year old male from Winnipeg. He was charged with Fraud over $5000 and Forgery and released on a Promise to Appear.
           
Indecent Act – C15-158588
On July 30, 2015 at approximately 12:15 a.m. a resident in the 500 block of Kavanagh Street noticed an unknown male seated on the front steps of their residence. The male was observed to be holding a ski pole and apples. Other residents attended to the front door at which time the male began speaking to two youths while ignoring the adults in the group. Despite numerous requests to leave, the male continued to focus on the youths while offering them apples. The male eventually left.
           
A short time later the male was observed committing an indecent act in the rear of the residence. The male left when he was confronted by neighbours in the area who demanded he leave.
           
The suspect was described as: Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years in age, 6 feet tall, thin build, wavy brown shaggy hair, wearing a black t-shirt, dark pants, black Calvin Klein underwear and a white string as a belt. He was carrying a cross-country ski pole as a walking stick. 
           
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact East District detectives at (204) 986-2857 or Crime Stoppers at (204) 780-TIPS (8477).

Operation Dry Water



Education and enforcement directed toward reducing alcohol related incidents on the waterways.

August 1st-3rd (Long Weekend)

By the middle of summer, boating is in full swing. With warmer water, hotter days and many enjoying fun in the sun on their boats, it is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating.

Alcohol is a factor in nearly 40% of boating incidents and many Canadians simply do not understand that there are intensifying factors, known as "stressors", such as sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat that can greatly increase the effects of alcohol on the water.

There are many vessels where drinking is simply not allowed. Open alcohol containers are only allowed on boats that are design to be 'residences', with sleeping facilities, a head (washroom facilities) and cooking facilities. And drinking is only allowed when that boat is at anchor, docked or hard aground; never while underway.

The laws surrounding when a boater is considered impaired mirror provincial driving laws.  Some provinces have even put in place legislation that has impaired boating affecting the boaters' rights to drive their automobile; being charged on the water equals remedies on land.  In provinces that have not enacted similar legislation, many boaters forget that "having a few too many" on the water, by extension, may lead to being impaired while driving home.

In 2013, the Canadian Safe Boating Council launched a campaign over the first weekend in August called Operation Dry Water. This campaign focuses on messaging about the potential risks of drinking and boating, the remedies that are currently in place to discourage the behavior and heightened police enforcement on the water.

During Operation Dry Water, marine enforcement will saturate high traffic areas on lakes and canals throughout the provinces, intensifying efforts to detect and apprehend boat operators who are operating under the influence of alcohol. As part of this initiative, the media will be provided with information from the Council to educate their audiences about the dangers of drinking and boating, its prevalence and the remedies that are in place to curb the problem.
