EPS officer charged with assault after man had nose broken during arrest: ASIRT
Update: Const. Alexander Doduk was found not guilty in June 2025. An Edmonton Police Service officer has been charged with assault after an investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT). ASIRT was directed on Nov. 26, 2019, after the EPS officer allegedly used a baton during an arrest, resulting in a broken nose. As a result of the investigation, ASIRT found that there were reasonable grounds to believe that a crime had been committed, and forwarded the investigation to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS). After being advised by ACPS that the evidence met the standards for prosecution, ASIRT's executive director, Michael Ewenson, determined that the officer should be charged. On Wednesday, Const. Alexander Doduk was charged with assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 11. ASIRT is directed to investigate police matters that include serious injury or death to any person, as well as allegations of police misconduct.

Police charge 2 suspects after man shot by police in southeast Calgary
Calgary police have charged two men following a confrontation on Friday that led to one of the men being shot multiple times by police. Shortly after midnight on Friday, two plain-clothed officers were travelling in an unmarked car when another vehicle passed them. A passenger in the vehicle allegedly pointed a handgun at the officers, according to a news release from the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT). A police helicopter, canine unit and other officers were brought in, and a traffic stop was conducted in the 600 block of 25 Avenue S.E., in the Manchester Industrial area, police said. One man fled from the vehicle and was pursued by patrol officers. Police said a "confrontation" occurred, and one officer fired their gun. The suspect was hit with "multiple shots," according to ASIRT. He was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, which was later upgraded to life-altering, but stable. ASIRT said a 3D-printed gun with .22-calibre rounds was found in his possession after he was shot. Tomy Loranger, 32, is facing multiple weapons-related charges from the incident, including pointing a firearm, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon and possession of a firearm contrary to an order. ASIRT said the vehicle's other occupants stayed in the car and followed police commands. Another man has been charged with breach of a release order because of the incident. All attending officers were wearing body-worn cameras, according to ASIRT, and the police watchdog has been directed to investigate the shooting. Loranger is scheduled to appear in court on June 13.
