Rural municipalities formally reject Alberta provincial police
“The proposed provincial policing model does not address the RMA’s core priorities about levels of service, how costs will be covered and local input into policing,” RMA president and Ponoka County reeve“Based on the arguments provided by the province so far, there’s simply no evidence that a switch to a provincial police service will be worth the cost and disruption.
The RMA noted there would be increased annual costs if the province ended its relationship with the RCMP, it would lose 30 per cent of policing funding from the federal government. And the cost of transition listed in the provincial report would be $366 million, all borne by Albertans. All without an identifiable increase in rural service levels, the RMA said.
