Police in Edmonton going to be highly visible Soon

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, May 25, 2022 3:38 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Police in Edmonton say they're going to be highly visible as part of a strategy to deal with increasing violence in areas like the downtown, Chinatown and the city's light-rail stations.

They say Phase 1 of Project Connection will begin with a high saturation of police resources in key areas, using members from various beats.

A 36-year-old man faces two counts of second-degree murder following the deaths of two men in their 60s in Edmonton's Chinatown last week.

A 20-year-old man, meanwhile, faces a charge of aggravated assault after a 78-year-old woman was pushed from a platform onto light-rail transit tracks in a random attack last month.
