Alleged offence dates

Europe Says: The B.C. Prosecution Service said the earliest alleged date among the nine counts is Dec. 8, 2017, and the latest is July 25, 2025.

Vancouver Sun: The B.C. Prosecution Service said the earliest alleged date among the nine counts is Dec. 8, 2017, and the latest is July 25, 2025.

Energetic City: Online court records say the alleged offences occurred in Vancouver in January and December 2017.

Allegations described here are not proven in court unless stated.

A veteran Vancouver police officer long associated with the KidsPlay Foundation is now facing a series of criminal charges, after what Vancouver police have described as a covert investigation lasting more than two years.

Kalwinder (Kal) Dosanjh was arrested Thursday in Surrey. He faces nine counts: four counts of fraud over $5,000, four counts of theft over $5,000 and one count of breach of trust by a public officer.

## A high-profile accused officer

Dosanjh is a veteran member of the Vancouver Police Department and a leading figure at the KidsPlay Foundation, making the case especially prominent in Vancouver policing and community circles.

The charges place Dosanjh in a sharply different public frame from the one many people would know him through: as a police officer and as a visible name connected to KidsPlay. The case now before the public centres not on that profile, but on allegations serious enough to include fraud, theft and breach of trust by a public officer.

A co-accused, Sarabjit Singh Gill, faces six fraud and theft charges in the same case.

## Charges span several years

The alleged offence dates in Dosanjh’s case vary by count. The earliest alleged date is Dec. 8, 2017, and the latest is July 25, 2025.

That range gives the case a long timeline, with the allegations stretching across multiple years. The specific details behind each count have not yet been laid out in the verified reports, but the number and nature of the charges make the case one of significant public interest.

Vancouver police scheduled a Friday news conference to discuss the charges. The department described the matter as connected to a “covert investigation” that lasted more than two years.

## Searches at foundation office and home

Police activity was visible Thursday beyond the arrest itself.

Police searched the KidsPlay Foundation’s offices that day. Police were also seen at Dosanjh’s home Thursday removing boxes.

Those searches now form part of the public picture surrounding the case, although the verified reports do not establish what was contained in the boxes or what investigators were seeking at either location.

The presence of police at both the foundation’s offices and Dosanjh’s home added to the public attention around the charges, given Dosanjh’s dual profile as a veteran officer and a leading figure at KidsPlay.

## Dosanjh denies wrongdoing

According to Global News, Dosanjh denied wrongdoing through his lawyer and said he committed no crimes.

That denial sits alongside the formal charges now facing him. The case involves allegations only at this stage, with Vancouver police expected to provide more information at the Friday news conference.

For now, the confirmed facts are stark: a veteran Vancouver police officer has been arrested, a co-accused is also charged, police searched the KidsPlay Foundation’s offices, and a multi-year covert investigation has led to fraud, theft and breach of trust counts.
