Two statues dedicated to the city's police officers and firefighters at Calgary's city hall were vandalized sometime over the past 24 hours, though much of it had been cleaned up by Friday afternoon. The statues of the officer and the firefighter had been spray-painted with multiple colours, and sashes with the words "birthday girl" were attached. In a statement, Calgary police spokesperson Emma Poole called the vandalism a "disgusting act." "Those who take issue with the Calgary Police Service should do so through meaningful dialogue and not deplorable acts of vandalism." A monument to Calgary police with the department's core values listed was defaced.
