Alberta moves to offer municipalities a provincial alternative to RCMP

  • Alberta is moving forward with a plan to allow municipalities to replace the RCMP with a new provincial police service, as stated by Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis.
  • The proposed Bill 49 aims to establish a Crown corporation for the new police service, which would operate independently from the government.
  • An additional $6 million is allocated for the agency's leadership, and shifting $136 million from the Alberta Sheriffs budget may minimize startup costs, according to Mike Ellis.
  • The legislation aims to establish the Alberta Police Review Commission to oversee police practices, incorporating the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team.
