Calgary police have launched a focused effort to combat crime and social disorder in the city's downtown area. The initiative, led by Calgary’s tough-minded chief Katie McLellan, aims to restore safety and order.
Chief McLellan repeatedly emphasizes the need for Calgary to address its crime issues seriously. This has resulted in 100 officers assembling in the East Village, prepared to intervene in downtown hotspots under a campaign known as Operation Order.
The operation targets areas plagued by crime, where visible police presence reassures law-abiding citizens. These zones often contain individuals armed with weapons, and every day police confront both criminals and vulnerable people needing assistance.
“These are the words of Calgary’s get-tough top cop Katie McLellan. She says them repeatedly when explaining why Calgary must act decisively against crime and social disorder.”
This active policing strategy is a welcome sight to residents and visitors alike who desire safer streets. The officers’ work balances enforcement with support for those affected by social issues.
