Edmonton Police Commission Information

The Edmonton Police Commission is a non-political body appointed to represent the citizens of Edmonton. While the Commission is appointed by and accountable to City Council, we remain an unbiased body whose primary commitment is ensuring Edmonton remain a safe and vibrant city. We recognize that Edmonton is changing and that these changes affect how our city must be policed. By working closely with the Chief of Police and the Edmonton Police Service, we are able to create an essential balance between public accountability and police independence. The Commission also connects with the community through meetings and public forums. This allows us to respond to civilian concerns and expectations, and take the necessary steps to build a safer community for everyone.
