From the creation and evolution of independent municipal police, the previous Alberta provincial police, or the successes of First Nations police services, policing in Alberta has not remained static.
Speakers will discuss the recent evolution of policing and law enforcement in Alberta to include the Alberta Sheriffs, the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams, and the unique features of the Alberta Police Service model developed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
