United Conservative Leader Danielle Smith has announced a plan to restore safety on city streets and public transit if re-elected on May 29.
EDMONTON -
Ellis, who is the Alberta minister of public safety, says an anti-gun trafficking team would work to stop illegal guns from making their way into the hands of criminals. The UCP announcement comes after a woman and her child were killed in what police say was a random attack outside an Edmonton school on Friday.
Last month, Smith also announced that the government wanted 100 more street-level police officers over the next year and a half to tackle violence on transit systems in Edmonton and Calgary.
