Adopt the Safer Together safety and wellbeing plan

Policing & community safety · May 26, 2026

What changed

The plan coordinates social development, prevention, intervention and incident response, with implementation and annual reporting directions.

City of Calgary — Safer Together plan and implementation steps · reviewed Oct 30, 2026

Why this decision is included

This is the current Council's explicit adoption of an integrated prevention and wellbeing plan. Subsequent report receipt and advisory-committee formation are linked implementation context, not independent plan-support scores.

How votes are grouped: This proposal is one decision family. Its readings, amendments and contextual votes cannot create additional independent evidence; an unscored proposal contributes no weight.

What Yes meant

Approve the plan package and require implementation reporting.

What No meant

Reject this plan package; the vote does not isolate which elements a member disputed.

Alternatives and outcome

Adopt the plan or send it back for the collaboration and redesign specified in a separate referral.

Council adopted the plan. It established the associated advisory committee on July 28 and received implementation information on July 29. The City describes ongoing action planning and a fall 2026 investment proposal; these steps do not prove completed delivery.

Context / unscored
Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
