Katie McLellan, Calgary's new police chief since May, is determined to confront criminals and address social disorder head-on. She emphasizes the need for more officers to effectively handle the challenges on the streets.
McLellan promises visible police action soon, sending a clear and long-overdue message to the public. She rejects the image of a lenient “hug-a-thug” cop, focusing instead on firm law enforcement.
Katie McLellan sounds like she means business.
Unlike some higher-ranking officers who become detached by bureaucracy, McLellan responds directly and without political clichés, maintaining a clear connection to frontline policing.
The previous chief left the position abruptly and without much explanation, placing extra responsibility on McLellan to restore confidence and order in Calgary.
The original source mentioned a newsletter signup process but experienced an issue with user registration, which is unrelated to the police chief's message.
