The new commission would handle complaints against police officers across the province.
EDMONTON—The Alberta government is proposing an independent commission to oversee complaints against police officers from across the province.
The independent review commission is about 18 months away from becoming a reality and is part of a package of amendments being brought forward under the United Conservative Party government’s Bill 6, the Police Amendment Act. It was introduced Thursday. “It still falls technically under the RCMP in Ottawa,” he said. “So, although the K Division has been very supportive of these changes that we’re making here today, you know, we’re still in negotiations with Public Safety Canada.”
The changes also would expand ASIRT’s ability to investigate peace officers in Alberta — like sheriffs and transit officers — when serious incidents occur. The unit would still be in charge of investigating serious incidents among police. “We have some folks within rural Alberta that may not feel as though they're being listened to by the RCMP, that’s just the feedback that we've gotten,” said Ellis, although he also said no final decision has been made.It says police should be required to develop community safety plans and ensure they’re hiring people from diverse backgrounds.
A provincewide governance body will also be struck to make recommendations about policing in Alberta. That board would have one seat reserved for a First Nations representative and one for a Métis member.
