Imagine this: you’ve been hearing fights, feeling unsafe, and watching your neighborhood decline because of a single problematic property. Frustrating, right? But here’s the exciting part – change is possible!
Recently, the SCAN unit of the Alberta Sheriffs stepped in and made a bold move. They obtained a court order against 1025 12 Street South, shutting it down for 90 days. That means no one, not even the owner, can step foot on that property! Think of it as reclaiming your space.
This closure is like a breath of fresh air for the community. The Lethbridge Police Service and SCAN have been working diligently to address calls from residents – a staggering 60 calls since June 2021, including reports of drug activity and violence. Action was needed, and action was taken!
Even better: SCAN has investigated over 10,000 properties since its creation in 2008! Their mission? Holding property owners accountable and restoring peace. And they’re committed to further action even after the 90 days are up. SCAN’s efforts go beyond just one property; they’re about fostering a sense of safety and trust in neighborhoods.
So, what does this mean for you? Your voice matters. If you witness any suspicious activities, speak up! Building stronger, safer communities starts with us. Together, we can make a difference and ensure our streets are safe again.
