It was a pleasure to attend the unveiling of the Calgary Police Discovery Centre (@visitCPDC) and to celebrate a new chapter for a space that has meant so much to our city for decades. YouthLink has long been a leader in prevention, education and connection; helping young people make safer choices and better understand the role of policing in our community. Seeing that legacy evolve into the Calgary Police Discovery Centre is incredibly exciting. This new chapter reflects a growing opportunity to engage youth, families and visitors in meaningful conversations about safety, prevention and trust, while continuing the important work that YouthLink was known for. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. I’m looking forward to seeing the Calgary Police Discovery Centre continue to lead innovative initiatives, reach and engage with Calgary youth, and create deeper connections with Calgarians for years to come.

We were honoured to welcome German Federal Minister Karen Prien, Minister for Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women & Youth, to Calgary as part of a visiting German delegation. Minister Prien participated in a 90 minute working session focused on youth in our city, including youth crime trends, CPS youth initiatives & how we collaborate with partners & schools to deliver programs & provide meaningful, on the ground support for young people. 👏 Thank you to the Calgary Police Discovery Centre @visitCPDC for hosting the meeting & for your ongoing support in working together to keep Calgary youth safe.

We've changed our name! calgary.citynews.ca/video/2026/04/…

On Friday, Feb. 20, 2026, we welcomed students with vision disabilities from the Calgary Board of Education for a full day of learning & fun at CPS Headquarters & @YouthLinkYYC Calgary Police Interpretive Centre. The students took part in activities with the Forensic Crime Scenes Unit, explored YouthLink, met Melon from the Victim Assistance Support Team & finished the day with an obstacle course & a Braille 10 code exercise.   Our officers had fun with the students & also gained valuable insights into ways we can continue to improve service delivery for all Calgarians.
