🐾 Swan Hills RCMP along with Police Service Dog Nuke tracks and locates suspect following recovery of stolen ATV

On Aug. 31, 2026, at approximately 1:25 p.m., Swan Hills RCMP received a report of a suspicious ATV in the Kidney Lake Road area in Woodlands County.

Workers at a nearby oil lease site spotted the suspicious ATV and approached the male operating it. The ATV became hung up and immobilized, and the male fled on foot into the surrounding bush. The workers quickly provided police with a description of the male and his direction of travel, which assisted officers in the search.

Officers attended and confirmed that the ATV had previously been reported stolen from Edson, Alta. A machete and large bolt cutters were also located with the ATV.

With the suspect attempting to evade apprehension in the wooded area, RCMP Police Dog Services and Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) resources from Whitecourt were called in to assist.

🐕 Police Service Dog Nuke picked up the suspect’s track from the area of the stolen ATV and followed it into the bush, where Nuke located the suspect concealed in the wooded area. The suspect was apprehended with Nuke’s assistance.

The suspect sustained minor injuries during his interaction with the police service dog and was transported to hospital for treatment. He was medically cleared and returned to police custody.

Further investigation resulted in police recovering a backpack associated with the suspect containing break-in tools.

Police also determined that the accused was subject to an active release order requiring him to remain inside his residence 24 hours a day and prohibiting him from possessing weapons.

Derek Borgel, 44, a resident of Yellowhead County, Alta., has been charged with:
- Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000;
- Possession of break-in instruments; and
- Failure to comply with a release order, three counts.

Following a judicial interim release hearing, Borgel was remanded into custody.

The stolen ATV was recovered and its registered owner was notified.

The Swan Hills RCMP would like to thank the workers who observed and reported the suspicious activity at their work site. Their vigilance, quick actions and assistance to police played an important role in the successful location and apprehension of the accused.

You may notice a new look from the Alberta RCMP officers in your community! 💙👮‍♂️

Starting in August, frontline Alberta RCMP officers will begin wearing new navy blue uniform shirts as part of the RCMP's ongoing uniform modernization efforts.

During the uniform transition, officers may be seen wearing either the traditional grey shirt or the new navy blue shirt while continuing to provide the same professional service in your community.

If you are ever unsure about the identity of an officer, you can:

✅ Ask to see their identification

✅ Contact your local detachment or call 310-RCMP to verify an officer's presence

We understand how the new uniform colour may cause some confusion, but whether an RCMP officer is wearing grey or blue, both are official RCMP uniforms.

🚔 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐋'𝐒 𝐎𝐔𝐓, 𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐒! ☀️

A massive congratulations to all the K-12 students for officially crossing the finish line of another school year! Whether you mastered multiplication, survived your final exams, or finally emptied out that backpack that hasn't been cleaned since September, you made it, and we are incredibly proud of you.

An extra special shoutout to you! You’ve put in the hard work, and now it’s time to celebrate this huge milestone. We are wishing you the absolute best in whatever adventure comes next. Remember, your hometown is always rooting for you!

📚 𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:
For those of you who still have a few more grades to conquer, enjoy the break and recharge those batteries! Keep working hard as you're one grade closer to the finish line. We know you are going to do great when you get back, but for now, enjoy a solid two months where your toughest daily assignment is deciding which flavour of freezie to eat first!

☀️ 𝐍𝐨𝐰, 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲:
We want everyone to have the most amazing summer break possible. Enjoy the sunshine, hit the trails, and make great memories. Let's just make sure we do it safely!

- 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧: Wear your helmets when biking, quadding (mandatory on ATVs), or rolling around town. Parents, make sure the little ones' bike helmets are strapped on tight before they zoom off!

- 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬: If the kids are heading out on the quads, a friendly reminder for parents on Alberta OHV laws: Riders must be at least 14 years old to operate an ATV unsupervised on public lands, which includes Crown lands.

We want to see every single one of your smiling faces back safe, sound, and ready to learn when the doors open for the next school year. Enjoy the freedom while it lasts, because before you know it, we will be right back to monitoring the school zones while your parents do celebratory cartwheels in the drop-off lane.

🐾 PUBLIC ADVISORY – DOGS RUNNING AT LARGE IN SWAN HILLS 🐾

Swan Hills RCMP would like to remind residents that dogs running at large in town is becoming a serious and ongoing issue.

We understand that some dogs are talented escape artists. However, under the Town of Swan Hills bylaw, it is the owner’s legal responsibility to ensure their dog stays properly contained and does not run at large. If your dog can jump it, dig under it, squeeze through it, or decides it is time for an unscheduled neighbourhood patrol, then it is time to improve your containment measures. Dog owners have a legal responsibility to ensure their dogs are secure, under control, and compliant with town bylaws.

Loose dogs are not just a nuisance. They create real safety concerns for pedestrians, children, other pets, and drivers. Even friendly dogs have been known to bite, and situations can turn bad quickly when animals are loose and uncontrolled.

In an effort to provide residents with a timely warning, this upcoming spring and summer Swan Hills RCMP will be taking a zero-tolerance approach to dogs running at large. Residents should be aware that the fine for allowing a dog to run at large is $100, with additional enforcement measures possible for repeat offenders.

So again: check your fence. Check your gate. Check your latch. Then check it again. If your dog is a four-legged Houdini, that may be impressive, but it is still your legal responsibility to keep it at home.

Our goal is to keep Swan Hills safe and ensure dog owners take their lawful responsibilities seriously.

Please do your part to keep the community safe for everyone.

To report crime or bylaw offences, call the Swan Hills RCMP at 780-333-4450 or 310-RCMP.
