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.
