Alberta sheriffs could soon be on patrol in downtown Calgary
About a dozen Alberta sheriffs have volunteered to patrol the streets of downtown Edmonton, assisting police officers with crime and disorder there.
It's part of a15-week-long pilot project prompted by Edmontonians' concerns about dangers on the LRT and some streets at night, following encounters with individuals who may be homeless or addicted to drugs. The subject came up Thursday when the premier was asked whether a similar plan might be put in place for Calgary.
Danielle Smith said more information is coming, but admitted public safety is an issue as many people return to downtown post-pandemic."I must tell you, our sheriffs came forward and volunteered for those positions," she said. "They want to help, too.
CTV News reached out to the city to ask if they've heard about the initiative, but has not heard back yet.
