Two Medicine Hat residents are facing drug trafficking charges following a short-term investigation by the Medicine Hat Police Service Patrol Section.

In December 2025, the MHPS began receiving complaints from community members regarding activity at a residence in the 900 block of Bullivant Crescent SW.  The reported activity was negatively impacting the safety and quality of life of nearby residents.

The investigation resulted in the execution of a search warrant on February 21, 2026.

As a result, Jackie Dopp (47) and Cody Madore (36) have each been charged with:

• Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, and
• Possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.

It is further alleged that Dopp was in breach of a Conditional Sentence Order at the time of the offences.

Both individuals appeared in a bail hearing on February 22 and were remanded in custody. Their next court appearance is scheduled for February 24, 2026.

The MHPS remains committed to working with the community to address criminal activity and enhance neighbourhood safety. Anyone with information about suspect drug activity is encouraged to contact the MHPS at 403-529-8481 or submit a tip online (anonymously if preferred) online through mhps.ca or the MHPS mobile app.
