Calgary Police Enforce Order Downtown
Calgary police have launched a determined campaign against crime and social disorder in the city’s downtown core, under the direction of Chief Katie McLellan, known for her tough stance on crime.
"We have to get serious about the crime and social disorder in this city," said Chief McLellan.
To support this approach, a force of 100 officers assembled in the East Village to begin what they call Operation Order. The initiative focuses on high-crime and problem areas, where visible policing offers reassurance to residents and businesses seeking safety and stability.
Officers on patrol are expected to encounter not only criminals but also vulnerable individuals in need of assistance. Their presence aims to restore a sense of order and community trust in parts of the city that have struggled with ongoing disturbances.
Operation Focus
- Deployment of 100 officers in downtown Calgary
- Targeting high-risk and disorder-prone areas
- Balancing law enforcement with social outreach
The operation underscores Calgary’s renewed resolve to reclaim public spaces and ensure safety for residents, workers, and visitors alike.
