The union representing nearly 4,000 RCMP workers in the province says it would be paying more for less if Alberta moves to a provincial police service.
The National Police Federation also says it would lead to community safety risks and that the majority of Albertans – 81 per cent – are satisfied with the RCMP.
The union has launched a website, Keep Alberta RCMP, that highlights its concerns about the United Conservative desire to create a provincial police service and the benefits of having the RCMP in Alberta.
A provincial police service is one of the recommendations from Alberta’s Fair Deal Panel.
