Alberta Justice Minister Kaycee Madu is urging Calgary city council not to go forward with a move to defund their police service, by reallocating $20 million from the police budget to community programs.
“In my discussions with community groups I have yet to hear someone ask for less funding to police. In fact the opposite is true. Instead, Alberta’s government is working to reform and modernize policing in this province. This is the best way to address concerns of the community,” Madu said in a post on Twitter Nov. 5.
