Provincial police idea faces opposition
Poll
Yes
By Collin Gallant on March 11, 2021.
Rural municipalities in southern Alberta are soliciting support to shelve the idea of creating a provincial police force as they submit local policing information for a provincial study. That issue, outlined in the Fair Deal Report, could be put to a province-wide referendum next fall, but this week municipal governments in southeast Alberta said they will develop their positions. A letter from the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass, circulated to other councils this month, tells Alberta Justice Minister Kayce Madu that it feels the RCMP serves the community well and that added costs of an Alberta service aren’t justified.
