In the coming days, particularly on July 18, citizens can expect to see an influx of outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG) members, including members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC), in the Calgary area for a planned gathering.
The Calgary Police Service (CPS), will have an increased presence throughout the city, monitoring the activities of those attending and ensuring they abide by the law, including the Traffic Safety Act.
Police do not anticipate an increased risk to public safety.
Motorcycle gangs host several events across Canada every year and historically these types of gatherings have passed without incident. The CPS, however, will be enforcing laws with this group as we would with any citizen.
The CPS encourages Calgarians to report all suspicious activity concerning OMGs by calling 9-1-1 for a crime in progress, the non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or by anonymously contacting Crime Stoppers using any of the following methods:
TALK: 1-800-222-8477
