Exclusive: Alberta moves forward with regional policing model as it mulls provincial force
In August 2022, the UCP government outlined its plan for what an Alberta Police Service would look like.He said a made-in-Alberta police force would provide better policing for all regions, including improved response times.Meantime, the Rural Municipalities of Alberta — which has long been against the idea of a provincial police force — still isn’t sure whether moving away from the RCMP is the right move.
“We cannot stress enough that I’m not sure the RCMP is the big issue here and I’m not sure that policing is the issue,” Kara Westerlund with the RMA said.“The start-up costs and those one-time costs are a drop in the bucket compared to what’s coming down the pipe later in the future,” she added. “It’s still feeling like the choice is already being pre-determined, and what that’s going to look like.”
