And we wonder why police get so pissed off when they do all this work to shut one down...only to see it re-open months later.
I can understand their frustration.

It is one thing for a convenience store to re-open under new ownership, that could be fine, but if the problems continue then that is not.

Government of Canada invests in crime prevention in Edmonton
March 30, 2026 – Edmonton, AlbertaCanadians deserve to feel safe in welcoming, vibrant, and inclusive communities. Building safe communities requires enforcement alongside a compassionate approach to prevention. That means taking practical action to reduce factors that can contribute to crime and disorder, support community safety, and address challenges affecting community well-being.
That is why the Honourable Eleanor Olszewski, Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience and Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada, on behalf of the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety, today announced $650,413 in federal support to the City of Edmonton through the Crime Prevention Action Fund (CPAF).

Our police budget is half a billion. Hundreds of millions are funnelled towards other social services and programs and fire/healthcare services. Why is this an announcement?
Change the bail system and lock up criminals for way longer.

That is 0.12% of EPS' annual budget. Hardly a generational investment.Government of Canada invests in crime prevention in Edmonton

I believe this money is to develop a crime prevention strategy. Not to go to fund EPS general operations.

^ So 650k to have some meetings, have some consultants create some reports, and come up with a plan?

At this point, we might as well connect a vacuum tube between the City's bank account and Deloitte.

I know. Just comparing it to the police budget to somewhat mock the “announcement” for such immaterial funding. This feels like the definition of “could have been an email…”

Here's hoping that this 650k leads to some reorg and prioritization around key crime stats or trends that will be challenging and complicated to address given everything.
