A battle between the Edmonton Police Commission and city councillors will go before a council meeting next week after the commission refused to participate in an internal audit and program review. Councillors approved a motion in December to request an audit plan from the commission, but the commission sent a letter on April 19th stating that it will not provide the requested information or undertake a program services review. The commission stated that it believes in a partnership approach to drive community safety and supports the EPS as it undertakes “transformational change that results in better policing for all of Edmonton.” Councillors, however, are disappointed and argue that the public needs more transparency about EPS priorities.

Fifteen years after Michelle Hadwen’s life was tragically cut short, Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is renewing its plea to the public for assistance in solving her unsolved homicide. On October 5, 2009, Hadwen was last seen alive leaving the York Hotel in Edmonton. Just a few hours later, she was found severely injured on the street near 79 Street and 121 Avenue and later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital. Despite extensive investigations over the years, no arrests have been made in Hadwen’s case, which remains a mystery.

The police urge anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward and contact EPS or Crime Stoppers.
