Former EPS officer charged with breach of trust

For Immediate Release: 03-Jun-2025 @ 4:00 PM
MRU #: PSB-R25-02

A former Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officer has been charged for unlawfully sharing confidential and investigative information. 

On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, retired Staff Sergeant William (Bill) Clark was charged with breach of trust in relation to releasing unauthorized and confidential investigative information with news media.

This investigation was conducted by the EPS Professional Standards Branch with oversight from the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT). It was subsequently reviewed by the Alberta Crown Prosecution Services in Calgary to determine if criminal charges were warranted. Prosecutors recommended the former officer be charged with one count of breach of trust.

As the matter is currently before the courts, the EPS is not able to provide further comment or information about this investigation.

Bill Clark was a 44-year member and retired from the EPS May 10, 2024.
