Calgary Police Take Firm Stand on Urban Crime
Calgary police have launched a wide-scale operation aimed at curbing crime and disorder in the city’s downtown. The initiative, known as Operation Order, demonstrates a determined effort to restore safety and public confidence.
Leadership and Determination
The city’s police chief, Katie McLellan, emphasizes the urgency of addressing escalating disorder. She repeatedly stresses the importance of taking crime seriously to protect residents and businesses in central Calgary.
“Calgary has to get serious about the crime and social disorder in this city.” — Katie McLellan
Operation Order in Action
One hundred officers gathered in the East Village to move into downtown areas identified as hot spots for trouble. Their mission covers locations that are both dangerous and in need of a visible law enforcement presence. For law-abiding citizens, more officers bring reassurance. For offenders, it signals the end of leniency.
