Calgary Officer Faces New Fraud and Theft Charges

Calgary Police Service officer Bradley Tepper, 52, is facing serious charges of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000, stemming from incidents that allegedly occurred over a 12-month period. The total amount involved in these incidents, which took place at various hardware stores in Calgary and surrounding areas, exceeds $10,000. Tepper was relieved of duty on August 26, 2025, and has been suspended with pay as the legal process unfolds.

This development follows a period where the Calgary Police Service has faced scrutiny regarding officer conduct. In other recent local cases, a Calgary police officer was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection to a 2023 shooting, and a former officer faced charges for breach of trust and misuse of a computer system in 2024. These incidents, while distinct, collectively underscore the ongoing efforts to maintain public trust and accountability within the force. The Calgary Police Service has emphasized a zero-tolerance policy for behaviors that undermine public confidence, and transparently addresses such matters through its Professional Standards Section.

Officer Tepper was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, under case number CL25815571/5277. The charges against him represent a significant breach of the public trust that officers are sworn to uphold, and the community will be watching closely as the case proceeds through the justice system.
