Calgary's police chief said continued impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, a rise in violent crime and staffing issues contributed to a decline in employee morale in 2021.
The report showed 13,826 violent crime incidents reported in 2021, which is the second highest in the last decade and only second to 2019.Recruitment and hiring also saw an increase in 2021, with the addition of 110 sworn and 68 civilian members to the police service.
“We know not everybody will want to identify, and they’re under no obligation to do so, but I also think that a lot of people will.” Peigan said city council must work to advocate changes to provincial legislation to improving access to that data.Mayor Jyoti Gondek questioned North Peigan on whether the service could avoid “data dumping,” and an information overload to improve communication.
She suggested a meeting between city council, police commission and police to address these concerns and to help get context behind the data.
