Young Fayez Afzaal has been released from hospital where he was being treated for serious injuries sustained in the attack on his family. His sister and parents were killed by a truck driver in what police describe as a hate-motivated attack because of their Muslim faith.

The city employs four Community Peace Officers who are able to enforce bylaws and traffic violations on either side of the border because of the Lloydminster Charter. The Alberta Peace Officer Act applies to the entire city through the Charter.
