Calgary city council's $9-million push to increase transit peace officer presence at select CTrain stations is showing early signs of success, according to a city briefing on the pilot program.
The added security focus is boosting how safe passengers feel using the system, though full results from the pilot remain in development. The program targets specific stations to test whether visible peace officer presence improves both actual safety outcomes and riders' sense of security.
The initiative represents one of several city efforts to address transit safety concerns that have persisted in recent years.
