We’re a leader

The EPS is an internationally recognized leader in innovative policing. Agencies from around the world visit Edmonton to learn more about our initiatives in community policing and to see firsthand what makes us a leader in policing. We are at the forefront of law enforcement, computer and communications technology, equipment, and training.

As a fully compliant organization with Alberta Policing Standard requirements, the EPS must meet high standards for our equipment and other areas within the service. While all Alberta police agencies are required to comply with these standards, the EPS continues to lead the way, which makes our organization stand out as a leader. It's just one element of what makes the EPS a proud and honourable family.
