On the evening of January 26, 2026, Corman Park Police Service (CPPS) members attended the vicinity of Highway 305 west of Highway 11 to assist the RCMP in searching for a suicidal male who was being sought in connection with threats made against his family. CPPS members located the suspect operating a vehicle on Highway 305, took him into custody, and subsequently turned him over to the RCMP.
At approximately 5:20 p.m. on January 30, 2026, Warman RCMP requested that CPPS attend a single vehicle collision just outside the Rural Municipality’s western boundary. On arrival, officers found a single vehicle in the ditch; both occupants were uninjured and sober, and CPPS members remained on scene until the investigation was turned over to the RCMP upon their arrival.
In the early morning hours of January 31, 2026, a CPPS officer observed a white Ford Focus being operated in an erratic manner. The officer stopped the vehicle and noted signs of drug impairment, along with an admission by the driver that they had recently used cannabis. Police demanded an oral fluid sample, which resulted in a positive finding for THC. The driver was issued a 72 hour driving suspension and the vehicle was impounded.
At 11:08 p.m. on February 1, 2026, an officer initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle operating in a suspicious manner in the vicinity of Township Road 382 and Highway 12. As a result of the stop, the passenger was found to be the subject of warrants from two separate RCMP jurisdictions for driving while disqualified. The passenger was processed and released at the scene.
Also on February 1, 2026, CPPS officers responded to a report from an off duty RCMP member regarding a semi unit that appeared unfit for travel on provincial highways. The vehicle was located and stopped on Highway 11 in the Rural Municipality of Corman Park.
Inspection of the commercial vehicle revealed that both side windows of the cab had been smashed out and covered with duct tape, significantly obstructing the driver’s ability to see other road users and approaching hazards. The windshield was severely damaged, with multiple fractures and impact marks spreading across the driver’s field of view, and the primary exterior mirror was shattered and held in place with duct tape, preventing the driver from seeing properly to the rear of the unit and trailer. Due to these serious safety defects, the semi was immediately placed out of service under applicable commercial vehicle inspection and out of service criteria. The unit was towed from the highway at the direction of CPPS, and a full Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection (PMVI) was ordered before it may return to service.
