Safe Streets - Safe City

A team of crime prevention specialists was assembled by the Community Life Improvement Council (CLIC) to conduct a crime prevention pilot project here in the Beltline. Consulting with the Beltline Community Association, the Beltline BRZ's (4th Street, Uptown 17 and Victoria Crossing), some social agencies and various other community representatives, the team set out to develop strategies for proactively dealing with crime related issues.

The team has completed research on crime prevention strategies that have been implemented in other areas of the world, along with current crime statistics in Calgary, feedback from the public, and past and present initiatives to reduce crime and social disorder in Calgary.

The result is "Safe Streets - Safe City"; a report released on November 17, 2004, outlining 29 recommendations for a crime and social disorder reduction strategy applicable to the Beltline area of Calgary. The recommendations are designed to be applied to all other areas of the city, and the country, as well. Through the recommendations, a truly exciting opportunity is created for the CLIC to work with communities and BRZs, the Calgary Police Service, Bylaw Services and all levels of government on some innovative and collaborative strategies for reducing crime and social disorder in our city.
