EPS employees share in five-time Alberta top employer win
The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has been named one of Alberta’s Top Employers for the fifth time and Police Chief Dale McFee is proudly recognizing that EPS’s incredible people are the reason for the success.
“Our people are our strength, this wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of sworn and civilian members and the support of the community we’re proud to serve,” said Chief Dale McFee.
Alberta’s Top Employers is an annual competition coordinated by Mediacorp Canada Inc. recognizing employers that lead their industries in offering outstanding places to work.
Mediacorp Canada Inc. announced their winners online in partnership with job search engine Eluta.ca, and in the Edmonton Journal and Calgary Herald on Jan. 28, 2025.
Employers are evaluated using eight criteria: Workplace; Work Atmosphere and Social; Health, Financial and Family Benefits; Vacation and Time Off; Employee Communications; Performance Management; Training and Skills Development; and Community Involvement.
Employers are also compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
“Our police service reflects the community, so we’re constantly evolving to meet the needs of citizens and employees alike,” said Executive Director Katherine Salucop with EPS Human Resources.
“EPS has made significant changes to support greater community safety and well-being in recent years, which requires skilled and resilient employees to be a critical part of this transformation.”
Whether a sworn or civilian member, EPS offers one of Canada’s best training programs to ensure its employees can handle ever-changing situations and tasks, with specialized continuing education programs developed with the University of Alberta and other accredited institutions based on employee feedback.
EPS also provides a comprehensive benefits package to support its approximately 3,000 members professionally and personally throughout their careers, including a variety of supports and services for fitness, mental health, and the overall well-being of individuals and their families.
Everyone at EPS has opportunities to grow and advance their careers within the organization depending on their interests, which encourages meaningful contributions and a culture of innovation.
Chief McFee added, “We really value our people as individuals and we want them to have long, fulfilling careers with us.”
“At EPS, we’re committed to fostering an environment where our people feel supported, challenged, and valued. If you’re looking for a meaningful, rewarding career serving your community, we’d love to have you join our team.”
