Lethbridge Police Service Deputy Chief Gerald Grobmeier says crime is down 25 per cent in the first sixth months of 2024, and he believes the city is on track to have the lowest CSI levels it has seen in five years by the end of the year.
Officials say lower crime levels mean police will be able to focus their front-line personnel on areas that need it the most, such as Lethbridge’s downtown area.
