Winnipeg Police Launch 3-Month Drug Crackdown | Winnipeg News
Description
Winnipeg police are launching a three-month drug enforcement blitz this Friday, targeting neighborhoods hit hardest by narcotics activity — following up on a successful 10-day crackdown that netted over 100 arrests. The new campaign, set to be reviewed in November, aims to build on momentum while focusing on safety and measurable results. During the earlier operation, most arrests were for warrants or court violations, but drug possession and trafficking charges also rose — with some detainees sent to detox. Surprisingly, violent crime dropped 16.5%, property crime fell 10.5%, and emergency calls declined 6% compared to last year — hinting at potential progress as police push harder to turn around community safety.
