A 26-year veteran of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) has been arrested and charged with multiple offences following a more than two-year investigation into alleged fraud, theft and breach of trust involving housing developments.<\/p>\n
Police Chief Const. Steve Rai confirmed Friday that Kalwinder Singh Dosanjh, 50, was arrested on September 3 and taken into custody. Provincial Crown prosecutors have approved four counts of fraud over $5,000, four counts of theft over $5,000 and one count of breach of trust.<\/p>\n
Police say the alleged criminal conduct occurred between 2017 and 2025, with victims reporting combined losses of more than $3 million. Authorities have identified 19 victims so far, although investigators believe the number could increase as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
The VPD said it first received information from multiple alleged victims in December 2023. Following an assessment of the allegations, a dedicated investigative team was established to examine Dosanjh\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n
Police said the investigation relates to housing developments, although officials have not released extensive details about the specific transactions because the matter is now before the courts.<\/p>\n
Dosanjh is also known for founding Kids Play, a charitable foundation based in Surrey. According to information associated with the organization, he previously worked in several areas of policing, including undercover operations, financial crime and drug investigations.<\/p>\n
Following his arrest, Dosanjh was suspended from the Vancouver Police Department, removing his policing powers. His service weapon has also been seized as the criminal proceedings move forward.<\/p>\n
Chief Rai described the allegations as \u201cdeeply concerning\u201d and said the conduct alleged against Dosanjh does not reflect the values of the Vancouver Police Department.<\/p>\n
The chief also acknowledged the 19 identified victims, praising their cooperation and determination to seek justice. The VPD has established a dedicated phone line for anyone who may have additional information related to the case.<\/p>\n
Dosanjh faces the charges alongside Sarabjit Singh Gill, 51, of Surrey, according to online court records.<\/p>\n
The case has raised concerns about public trust in law enforcement, particularly because of the accused officer\u2019s lengthy career and previous assignments involving financial crime investigations.<\/p>\n
Police have emphasized that the allegations remain allegations and that the accused is entitled to due process as the case proceeds through the courts.<\/p>\n
Investigators are continuing to determine whether additional victims or related transactions exist. Anyone with information about the alleged conduct is being encouraged to contact VPD investigators.<\/p>\n
The case is expected to remain under close scrutiny as the legal proceedings develop, with questions surrounding the alleged financial losses and the involvement of a serving police officer likely to remain at the center of public attention.<\/p>\n
