Police say 19 victims lost $3 million in a two-and-a-half-year covert investigation that led to fraud, theft and breach of trust charges.
- On September 3, Vancouver Police Department officer Kal Dosanjh was charged with four counts of fraud, four counts of theft over $5,000, and breach of trust by a public officer.
- Dosanjh founded the KidsPlay Foundation in 2015 to provide sports and mentorship programs for youth across Canada, aiming to keep children away from drugs, gangs, and violence.
- A two-and-a-half-year investigation uncovered 19 victims who lost $3 million total. Police executed search warrants at the Surrey-based charity on September 3 and confirmed Tuesday they received additional tips about potential victims.
- The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner suspended its Police Act investigation into Dosanjh on Tuesday, citing the ongoing criminal proceedings. The Foundation stated its mission "transcends any one individual."
- Through lawyer Joven Narwal, Dosanjh denied the allegations, stating "I look forward to defending myself fully in court" and emphasized his more than 26 years of community service.
