Three serving officers of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) have been charged in relation to two separate, but linked investigations. These investigations were carried out by the CPS with oversight by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) and involve allegations of sexual misconduct.
“While the legal process will take time and limits what we can share publicly, I want Calgarians to know this: we take these matters extremely seriously,” said Calgary Police Service Chief Katie McLellan. “This investigation reflects our commitment to thorough and transparent accountability. We understand that serious allegations involving the conduct of serving members, even while off-duty, can significantly affect the public’s trust and confidence in us. That trust is foundational, and we remain steadfast in upholding the highest standards of conduct for our members and earning the confidence of the community we serve.”
The investigation began in January 2025. It is alleged that an officer met women during the course of his duties and had, or attempted to have, personal and sexual contact with them, both on and off duty.
Const. Adam McBride, has been charged with four counts of breach of trust under the Criminal Code of Canada. Const. McBride, a 14-year member, was relieved from duty without pay and effective Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, is no longer an employee of the Calgary Police Service. He will next appear in court on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026.
It is alleged that another officer was aware of and encouraged, or facilitated, the alleged conduct of Const. McBride. Const. David Harms has been charged with two counts of breach of trust under the Criminal Code of Canada. He is a 17-year member and was relieved from duty without pay. He will next appear in court on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026.
During the investigation, direct messages were uncovered where a photo of a partially naked woman was shared without consent. Const. Tyler Hobberstad has been charged with one count of breach of trust and one count of distribution of an intimate image under the Criminal Code of Canada. He is a six-year member and was relieved from duty without pay. He will next appear in court on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026.
Anyone who believes they have received inappropriate contact of a personal nature by a police officer is strongly encouraged to report such circumstances to the Professional Standards Section, or as of Monday, Dec. 1, 2025, to the new Police Review Commission.
