Officers proactively patrolled and responded to high-priority calls such as assaults or weapons complaints. The eight transit stations the city focused on were:

● Century Park LRT/Transit Centre
● Southgate LRT/Transit Centre
● University LRT/Transit Centre
● Coliseum LRT/Transit Centre
● Clareview LRT/Transit Centre
● MacEwan LRT
● Northgate Transit Centre
● Westmount Transit Centre

During the 16-day span, there was a 33 per cent decrease in calls at the eight stations and a 25 per cent decrease across the entire ETS network compared to 2023.
