Are You Really Being Heard by the Province, or Just Being Told?
This summer, the Alberta government has been holding “consultations” on policing in our province. But here’s the truth: Albertans aren’t being listened to.
Any time the topic comes up, Albertans are hearing the same thing from friends, family, neighbours, and even municipal leaders: Albertans do not want to replace the RCMP with a costly provincial police service.
Yet the province launched its Alberta Next panel, featuring biased “surveys” on topics like policing. It has been conducting similarly fashioned meetings, and communities are speaking out.
That’s why we’ve launched a NEW letter to government, and we need you to add your name. This is your chance to demand transparency, real costing, and listening to public input before the government moves forward with any changes to provincial policing, including their expensive and unproven plan to replace your dedicated RCMP Members with Sheriffs.

The RCMP saves Albertans money: Ottawa covers 10 to 30% of policing costs every year. This means more funds are available for investing in other services, like better infrastructure and healthcare. This funding would be lost with a new provincial police service.
Alberta’s RCMP are controlled by Alberta: Under the Provincial Police Service Agreement (PPSA), Alberta’s Public Safety Minister sets officer numbers and policing priorities—not Ottawa.
