The Edmonton Police Commission is committed to making Edmonton a safe and vibrant city today and in the future. By working closely with the Chief of Police and the Edmonton Police Service, the Commission creates an essential balance between public accountability and police independence. The Edmonton Police Service is held responsible for its actions by reporting to the Commission, a non-political body appointed to represent the citizens of Edmonton.
The Commission has four main functions: overseeing the police service, responding to citizens’ concerns on policing matters, helping to develop the annual policing plan and budget, and building positive relationships with community partners.
