Online survey asks Albertans how to improve police complaints and discipline process

Edmonton… Albertans are asked to provide feedback on how the current process for handling police complaints and discipline can better reflect the realities of policing in Alberta today.

The online survey is now accessible through the Government of Alberta website at http://bit.ly/SGPS-Survey. The deadline for submissions is June 4.

“We are developing a new framework for law enforcement to ensure policing in Alberta continues to be modern, flexible, and professional,” said Frank Oberle, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security. “An important part of this work is reviewing the current process of police discipline, which includes the process for hearing and resolving complaints about police conduct. We want to hear what Albertans have to say about this issue.”

Alberta’s process for police complaints and discipline has remained largely unchanged since the 1973 Police Act. Police, stakeholders and members of the public have asked for a complaint and discipline process that is more efficient and transparent and less time-consuming. Over the past year, the ministry has consulted police leaders, police association representatives, police commission members, police officers and other stakeholders on how the process can be improved.
