Alberta's gun buyback efforts stall due to lack of police resources, a minister admits.
Police in Lethbridge, Alberta, are struggling to enforce gun buyback programs due to insufficient resources, a government minister acknowledged in a recorded conversation.
The minister highlighted a gap between policy goals and on-the-ground realities, noting that lack of personnel, funding, and logistical support hampers effective implementation and monitoring.
Without adequate backing, enforcement remains inconsistent, undermining efforts to verify compliance and encourage public participation.
The situation reflects broader challenges in public safety infrastructure, especially in smaller communities with limited law enforcement budgets.
The remarks have renewed calls for increased investment in policing and safety initiatives, though specific outcomes of the buyback program were not detailed.
