EDMONTON – Alberta’s government is investing in increased community safety by providing $6 million over two years for Indigenous and Municipal Police Transition Study Grants.
The grants would provide Indigenous communities and municipalities with up to $30,000 each toward an independent study to determine if a local, self-administered police service or a regional policing model would be a better fit for their citizens.
Mike Ellis, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services said. “No one knows a community’s needs better than the people who live there. This funding will empower municipalities to explore different policing models that will improve public safety and address their community’s unique needs.”
According to a release from the provincial government, Public Safety and Emergency Services has received grant applications from 13 communities that are interested in a different policing model to meet their needs.
