The Cornwall Police Service handled 264 calls for service during the Easter long weekend, which ran from April 3 to April 6, 2026. This activity resulted in several arrests involving charges ranging from domestic assault to criminal harassment and breach of court orders.

Among those arrested, a 27-year-old man from Cornwall is facing 16 charges. These include criminal harassment (repeatedly communicate), unlawfully being in a dwelling house, six counts of breach of a release order, and seven counts of breach of probation. Police alleged the man failed to abide by conditions related to contact with an ex-girlfriend, residency requirements, and failing to keep the peace.

Other notable incidents from the holiday period included a 37-year-old man arrested on April 6, 2026, following an intimate partner violence call. He faces a charge of domestic assault.

The call volume over the Easter weekend follows a period of high operational demand for local officers. Earlier this spring, the service documented 162 calls for service over the weekend of March 28-30, 2026.
