LPS sees four years of change and progress
Lethbridge Police Service has been under major transformation since 2020 when Chief Shahin Mehdizadeh began as the city’s police chief. On Thursday, Mehdizadeh, who has more than 35 years of national and international police experience, chatted in the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA), presentation session about the key challenges he faced when he came to the institution.
Mehdizadeh began his policing career with the RCMP in 1989, and his experience includes general patrol duties, major crimes, drug and organized crime, covert operations and national security.
