The agenda for this month’s public meeting includes:

  • A presentation on gun violence in Calgary
  • A presentation on the Service’s employee engagement efforts
  • An update on the Service’s anti-racism work

About the Commission

The Calgary Police Commission is a body of 10 community members and two city councillors appointed by City Council to provide independent citizen governance and oversight of the Calgary Police Service on behalf of all Calgarians.

To protect the political neutrality of the police, Alberta’s Police Act requires that the police chief report directly to the Commission and that the Commission give direction to the Service through the chief, police policies, monitoring of the police conduct complaints process, and approval of how the police budget is spent.
