Increased sheriff pilot program comes to an end in Calgary -- for now

Increased sheriff pilot program comes to an end in Calgary -- for now

A dozen sheriffs and Calgary Police officers roamed Calgary's core for three months, but the provincial pilot program is officially over as of this week.

A dozen sheriffs and Calgary Police officers roamed Calgary's core for three months, but the provincial pilot program is officially over as of this week.

However, a spokesperson for the Alberta government says the UCP campaigned on extending the program until the end of the year and the Calgary Police Service is reviewing the project before the sheriffs are redeployed.

Back in February, the province tasked 12 sheriffs to walk side-by-side with CPS officers to try and bolster public safety and combat crime.

A decision on whether to bring the program back permanently will be up to the newly re-elected government and the public safety minister named by Premier Danielle Smith.

"Anecdotally, talking to the members involved on both our side, the CPS side and the sheriff side, we appreciated the increase in capacity and being able to go a little bit further," said Calgary police chief Mark Neufeld.

"And, anecdotally, I think Calgarians were happy seeing more uniforms and public spaces," he told journalists Wednesday morning, adding he thanked the sheriffs for their help earlier in the week.

Final data for the entirety of the pilot is expected next week, but numbers released at the end of April showed the teams responded to more than 1,600 calls and laid 109 charges.
