***Starting on December 1, 2025, the Police Review Commission (PRC) will independently investigate serious incidents, criminal allegations, and public complaints involving police in Alberta.

The PRC will have jurisdiction over criminal allegations involving all police services in Alberta. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) will become part of the PRC and continue its mandate to investigate cases of death, serious injury, and “serious or sensitive” allegations involving police. ASIRT’s mandate will expand to include peace officers and legislative security officers. A new team of investigators within ASIRT will be responsible for criminal and statutory offences (for police only) that don’t meet the serious and sensitive threshold.

The PRC will also receive and investigate code of conduct matters under the Police Service Regulation involving officers working for municipal and First Nation police services. The RCMP, governed by the federal RCMP Act, will retain jurisdiction over public complaints involving its officers.

All submissions are reviewed by the Professional Standards Branch.

To make a claim against the City of Edmonton for injury or property damage you may do so before the appropriate court and are encouraged to seek legal advice. For certain matters involving the City, you may be able to initiate the claim through the City of Edmonton Risk Management.  However, please note that most EPS matters (with limited exception, for example, for certain service vehicle collisions) cannot be resolved through the eClaims portal due to their complexity.  For those matters, please consider bringing your claim or complaint before the appropriate court, tribunal, or other suitable process.
