Most Albertans want to keep the RCMP
No doubt, with all of the political noise around policing in our province, it’s hard to tell what Albertans actually believe. According to the National Police Federation, 78 per cent of Albertans see no reason to change policing models. Ultimately, Albertans care about strong public safety outcomes, efficiently delivered, and most municipalities seem very keen to build on what is already working well with the RCMP.
Proactive policing means doing more with what we have
It’s crucial that our elected leaders have a candid conversation, not play politics, with Albertans about how to strengthen the police forces we already have, including the RCMP, which has had a major foothold in Alberta for over 100 years.
