THREAD: Calgary Transit is implementing a three-step plan to address concerns around safety.
Effective immediately, Calgary Transit is doubling the number of peace officers (from 30 per day to 60 per day) that are deployed on the system at any one time. #yyccc#Calgary#LRT
Peace officers will continue to work with DOAP and Calgary Police Services (CPS) to address issues. This immediate activity will be achieved through overtime with existing resources – all peace officer functions will be maintained. #yyccc#Calgary
Step 2: Utilize partnerships with Calgary Community Standards, CPS, and Corporate Security to relieve and support the existing peace officer staff which will allow for additional visibility on board the trains as well as more active monitoring at the stations. #yyccc#Calgary
Step 3: Calgary Transit will hire 30 contracted service staff to provide increased visibility and incident reporting at stations, enabling peace officers to focus on other areas. As well, peace officers will continue to work with other enforcement agencies. #yyccc#Calgary
