In Oct. 2024, the EPS EDGE Section launched an investigation into the One Order Motorcycle Club (MC) establishing roots in Edmonton. With chapters already active in Eastern Canada, this chapter was identified as a one-percent outlaw group with ties to violence and is closely aligned with the Hells Angels. This is the link to the initial news release from Nov. 2025.

This investigation was part of the Edmonton Police Service’s (EPS) Guns and Gangs Strategy which is a plan to address firearm and gang violence in Edmonton. It considers the unique factors driving serious crime in the city, identifying key focus areas that require increased and sustained effort to reduce victimization and improve community safety.
