The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) has established the Extra Duty Detail (EDD) program to provide police services on a private contract basis. This program is governed by the Extra Duty Detail Business Rules, which outline the EPS's business practices and processes effective November 4, 2024.

The Business Rules emphasize a layered security model where police play a part but are not the sole proprietors of risk management. They also promote integration with the public policing model when true policing activities are required. The document details how and why police may contribute to an event, expectations when police are on scene, and the administration and management of extra duty assignments. These rules aim to increase transparency and trust, outlining how the EPS's Extra Duty Detail addresses client assets, risks, and public safety.

To request Extra Duty Detail services, clients must complete the Extra Duty Detail Application Form. An Application Guide is available to assist with its completion. All requests must be submitted through this application process unless an exemption is authorized by the Staff Sergeant in charge of DEOPS. The application process has been refined to enable repeat clients to pre-fill foundational information, making it more convenient and useful. It is recommended that all clients review the form and identify the required information before completing an application.

For further information on the process, criteria, and requests for police services through Extra Duty Detail, please contact the Extra Duty Detail office:
