Under Alberta’s Police Act, the Edmonton Police Commission is responsible for appointing and evaluating the Chief of Police for the Edmonton Police Service (EPS), as well as setting policing priorities, allocating the police budget and establishing policies. The Chief is accountable to the Commission to ensure modern, transparent, and fiscally responsible policing for Edmonton, Alberta. This includes advancing data-informed decision-making, demonstrating clear public value for budgetary investments, and guiding the EPS toward innovative, responsive models of community safety. As a visible, empathetic, and strategic leader, the Chief will play a central role in shaping a safe, inclusive, and thriving city.
The Chief is the operational leader of the EPS and is responsible for delivering high-performing, community-centred policing that builds and sustains public trust, enhances both actual and perceived safety, and reflects the evolving needs of a diverse and growing city. The Chief sets the tone for ethical, inclusive, and accountable leadership and must embody transparency, humility, and integrity in all internal and external interactions.
