Consultation has concluded
In September 2020, the EPS launched the Commitment to Action. The EPS Commitment to Action is about working toward developing a city that feels safer for everyone who lives, works, plays, and invests here. This involves fostering confidence, trust, and understanding between Edmontonians and the EPS. With that unique role comes a responsibility to listen and respond to the concerns of the people we serve.
Over the past year, the EPS facilitated listening sessions and used online mechanisms to engage with a diverse cross-section of community members, partners and stakeholders including representatives of the:
Black, Indigenous, racialized, and underserved communities
Non-profit organizations involved in delivering social services to disadvantaged, marginalized and vulnerable Edmontonians
Business community
The document below is our Community Feedback Report (or "What We Heard"). In early 2022, EPS will release its Implementation Roadmap Report (or "What we Considered and What We are Doing) which will detail tangible changes to policy, operations, process and procedure. From the listening sessions and the proposed community solutions, we have already begun to implement a number of actions. These can be found under the "What We Are Doing" tab below.

Please do not use social media to report crime. Dial 911 for emergencies. Or use the non-emergency line (780) 423-4567, dial #377 within city limits or report a crime online. You can also visit your nearest police station.

absolutely top notch. I frankly wish all officers good health and well-being both in the service and in their personal lives.absolutely top notch. I frankly wish all officers good health and well-being both in the service and in their personal lives.

I am disappointed that Chief McPhee publicly opposes decriminalization of personal possession, which would go a long way to addressing aspects of this report, and which detailed research tells us will simply improve the lot of vulnerable populations and improve social health. In my view, EPS does not exist to tell us what society should look like; rather, it is there to enforce those rules deemed useful by our society to obtain the outcomes we desire. Given that decriminalization would reduce police demand, Chief McPhee has a conflict of interest. Chief McPhee, how did you mature into being the problem?

Deplorable, despicable and disgusting are some of the words that come to mind when dealing with the EPS. From the lowest officer to the Chief, there is no regard for people with disabilities. There are no policy changes to help people with disabilities and the blatant ableism that the whole force exhibits is atrocious. From silenced voices to outright fiction written in police reports. Primary example Day and Night Pizza was reported on multiple times between 2016 and 2021 by a person with a disability. Multiple times it is stated that what was presented was not looked at due to "checking of EPROS and discovering comments of previous officers" for that reason alone ALL evidence presented was not even heard. A shakedown happened and less than 48 hours later the store was open and fully functional. How can you trust an entity which silences, covers and deceives people, where I am from when had a word for it and it started with a P but over here you would call it media manipulation. As evidence, I submit this post which will not be displayed due to being brutally honest and unfavourable. There is an additional part to that but I will reveal what that is when the time comes. I dare you to prove me wrong EPS.

I am not happy what happen to the Native s man was treated on Facebook. My thoughts on that is a a lot anger management need to be taught.. The police would like to fight so quickly and yelling which is not called for and treat people with respect even when they did something wrong. This not having a bell on the bike he wouldn't get one. This culture don.t respect police. The supervisors have to step to the plate and more teaching of the law. Thank you

Perhaps I missed something, but I'm passed off to see any mention of the LGBTQ community buried deep in the report. Your silence about this community is the problem, not the solution.

I think it is wonderful to be involved with all diverse groups and am so glad to see this. BUT when a resident born and raised here has issues during Ramadan to the point that their windows on their home are shattered and their lives threatened, where is the help for them?? I was shocked that nothing has been done each year that this happens by the same group of people (who are now adults) year after year. Being told that no one wants to help them by the police and local politicians I am very upset by that. Its wonderful that eps is there to help the different groups but residents born and raised here deserve at least as much support.
