There are many problems, but one of them is that the level of policing in the area is not what is being represented to our city government.

3 incidents this week at our place. How is that reasonable or acceptable EPS? COE? DECL?

Understand you are frustrated, and it is unacceptable. However I have talked to several residents in your building and there's some remedies and suggestions I've made that could be implemented that other buildings have done.

Travelling Italy right now and there is a police presence everywhere. Edmonton honestly feels far more unsafe and undesirable to explore than it was a few days ago.
Time for change and time for a higher bar.

I don't understand the general public's unwillingness to call out EPS directly. They have the resources to provide security. West Edmonton Mall security would do a better job.

Online petition to the Ghermezian family to provide WEM security to downtown to shame EPS?

I have heard parts of Italy have a bad reputation for pickpockets, so be careful and that may be why there is more police presence there particularly in high traffic tourist spaces.
If so, that is reactive, but that is better than here. Yes, I agree the Ghermezian's probably could do a better job with downtown safety and security than EPS is now. Sad really.

here's an odd thing. yesterday I saw a person in our back alley having a freak out. I called 911 (they were being aggressive). The 911 operator asked me to keep an eye out on this person and call them back if they left or it resolved some other way. after about 20mins, said person wandered away so I called back... The operator told me that the police had been dispatched and came to the address I gave and took care of things. I responded by telling them that no police had come as I had my eye on the person the whole time (clear view from my home office window). Operator insisted that they had been in communication with the responding officers. who reported they took care of it. odd. (edit. I called 311 first and they told me to call 911)
