8. Train in your own backyard - Edmonton!

EPS training takes place in Edmonton, so if you already live here, there is no need to uproot your family.

What better way to give back to the community that you have grown up in than to become a police officer and contribute to its safety and security. And if you aren’t from around here, Edmonton is a great place to plant some roots. With lots of variety and opportunities, the EPS has more than you could ask for in a career and as an officer you have the chance to become a role model within your own community either new or old!

All EPS training takes place right here in Edmonton at the William Griesbach Training Centre so you won’t have to temporarily move to another location. From day one, you will be able to balance your life between the Edmonton Police Service and family with weekends and evenings free - all while getting paid to do so.
