Vancouver's Downtown Eastside business owner says crime hasn't improved since Task Force Barrage started.

Business at Calabash has been worse since police launched task force, Cullin David says.

Police say crime has dropped 13 per cent since task force launched three months ago .

The department says it sent additional officers to Gastown , Chinatown, and Hastings Street .

Task Force Barrage has seen a noticeable decline in major crime in the Downtown Eastside area.

Police and Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim said when the operation was launched that it would be a “long-term operation to dismantle organized crime networks and target predatory criminals.

Police say they don't want this task force to come to an end after six months and have all the gains we’ve made.
