Edmonton, AB coordinates community safety teams with its Healthy Streets Operations Centre pilot
Edmonton, AB Healthy Streets Operations Centre Pilot
The two-year pilot assembles teams of city and provincial first responders at a Chinatown location. Weekday routes through Chinatown, Downtown, and Kingsway include interactions with business owners and residents about current safety concerns. Community safety teams connect unhoused residents with social services and health resources based on their needs. City officials work with partners like REACH Edmonton and Homeward Trust on adapting responses to changing conditions.
Projet réussi
The Healthy Streets Operation Centre reduced crime severity in its first five months of operation. City officials also reported 170 patients were treated by paramedics rather than visiting emergency rooms.
