Calgary's brave police officers protect our homes, businesses, and communities from harm and keep us safe. Now, some on City Council are calling for the police to be defunded. They want to reduce the number of police on our streets and spend the money instead on psychologists and social workers. As we've seen in many US cities, taking police out of communities results in more violent crime, more property damage, and significantly less public safety.
We need to stand up for Calgary's police and push back against those who want to paint our police as villains. Let's #DefendThePolice!
I, the undersigned, support Calgary police officers who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. I call on Calgary City Council to defend the police!

some things have gone wrong -like in any proffesion but there are alot of good members trying to do a job thats difficult-especially in these times—they need the resources to do the best job possible—not take awy essential services—or cut pay—we should be applauding these people who keep us safe-i think they do a great jobOur police in this community are exactly what all
Police should aim to be. They genuinely care about the vulnerable people and it causes them grief there is not a place to take the vulnerable people to get help who are stealing from our residents. Our councillor is out of touch with our community if he thinks less police presence is good for forest lawn
