As someone who has grew up near Taber and played sport for and against there, I can say that it is a problem town. It's close enough to the boarder that there are plenty of drugs that flow through it, and with the ever increasing Mexican Mennoite population in it and surrounding towns (Grassy Lake), the drugs come even harder.
The Taber police is what it is, but it shows you how much of a problem is there when they have their own police cars along with the RCMP. Lots of good people there, but it's gone from a town that was sort of dumpy, to a full on port-a-potty of Southern Alberta.
