The Police Amendment Act would establish an independent agency called the Police Review Commission to receive complaints, carry out investigations and conduct disciplinary hearings
The Alberta government has introduced legislation aimed at making police forces more accountable and responsive to the communities they serve.
“One thing that came up consistently was the need to change how complaints against the police are investigated to end the system of police investigating police,” Ellis said. The legislation would also require all jurisdictions with a population above 15,000 currently policed by the RCMP to establish civilian bodies to oversee policing priorities.
Ellis said it could be another 18 months before the Police Review Commission is up and running. He said negotiations are underway with the RCMP to see how they would fit in under civilian oversight.
