In their vast array of everyday activities, patrol officers in all six divisions of the city rely upon fellow officers who work in specialized units to provide their skills, expertise, and back-up support at any given time, in any given location.
These specialized units include Flight Operations, Canine, Tactical, Crime Scene Investigation, Search and Rescue, Extra Duty Detail, Traffic, Indigenous Relations, and the Police Communications Branch.
The public also relies on our Police Information Check Unit to provide background checks for volunteer jobs and other employment positions.
The Edmonton Police Service has recently taken over the Alarm Bylaw Program, as well.
