Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek said integrated work between the Calgary Police Service and transit peace officers is already ongoing in the city without a transfer of command.
“It is a very close integration,” Calgary police chief Mark Neufeld told Global News. “Typically it will be project-based initiatives and activities that take place, but it’s going to be an ongoing integration of working together.”
“One of the challenges right now is if a transit peace officer had an emergency, they could be in very close proximity to a police officer, but they don’t talk to one another,” Neufeld said. Neufeld said addressing rising violent crime on transit is the focus in the short term, with longer term attention on a sustainable transit safety model as the city continues to expand.
“I think it is really short-sighted. It is just simple politicking and it would waste public money,” Sundberg said.
