Bell: Calgary Police Take Strong Action Against Crime
Calgary police are intensifying their efforts to combat crime and social disorder in the city's downtown area. Leading this charge is Calgary’s tough-minded Chief, Katie McLellan, who emphasizes the need for serious action.
Operation Order: A Focused Police Initiative
To address these issues, 100 officers gather in the East Village, preparing to patrol the downtown as part of what is called Operation Order. Their mission targets known trouble spots where police presence is especially needed.
Protecting the Law-Abiding
The officers focus on areas where residents and visitors feel safer seeing uniformed police. These locations are often marked by the presence of weapons and ongoing criminal activity. Day after day, the officers encounter both criminals and vulnerable individuals who require assistance.
