Proud to speak at the Safety of Our Cities Conference which brings public safety stakeholders together from around Canada and United States. The goal of the conference is to seek innovative strategies to address public safety challenges faced by cities with a focus on upstream

My deepest condolences to both law enforcement agencies and the families of the fallen. During this difficult time, know that the entire Edmonton Police Service stands in solidarity with all members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the U.S. Marshalls. (2/2)

I was profoundly saddened to learn of the tragic events that unfolded in Charlotte, NC. The loss of 4 officers, and another 4 injured is an unimaginable blow to the U.S Marshals Task Force and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the law enforcement community. 1/2

As with any major incident in a public place, we understand citizens are concerned. We are incredibly lucky that no lives were lost and we are grateful for all of the witnesses who have come forward. Added thanks to WEM security and first responders for their assistance.

The last three days have been incredibly taxing on our officers. Various resources and units have had to be deployed to address public safety concerns. I want to thank officers for continuing to show their resilience and dedication to serving and protecting the city.

But addressing crime, disorder and violence citywide needs sustained effort. We can’t let up, and we won’t.

There is considerable work yet to be done, but as released today, we are making progress. Initiatives like our transit teams are beginning to make a difference - crime severity on LRT is starting to go down, thanks to working with @cityofedmonton and @BentArrowYEG .

The violence that’s unfolded in our city over the past 72 hours is completely unacceptable. Officers have been working tirelessly to uphold public safety, but this cannot continue.

Excellent work by our HSOC teams in getting these drugs off the streets.

Tan’si. Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day. EPS celebrates Indigenous culture every day. New artwork at PHQ is a reminder of our connection with the Papaschase. I want to thank Chief Calvin Bruneau and the Papaschase people for working with EPS to build a brighter future.

Congratulations to Det. Manuel Illner on receiving the Kiwanis Club of Edmonton’s Top Cop Award. This award shows that the community has seen all that you do. Thank you.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to family, friends, and colleagues in Ontario who are grieving yet another loss of an officer and a community member. Know that we are keeping you in our thoughts.

I want to extend my condolences to family, friends, and colleagues this morning in Bourget, Ont. Sgt. Eric Mueller was killed in the line of duty, while two other responding officers were injured. My thoughts are with the Ontario Provincial Police during this difficult time.
