It’s time to talk about policing

  • A poll conducted in January for ABmunis by Janet Brown Opinion Research showed that 61% of Albertans feel that crime is increasing in their part of the province. 

  • Changing to a provincial police force will result in the forfeiture of approximately $180 million in annual federal funding to the province. That means Alberta taxpayers will have to pay the difference or residents will see a reduction in other provincial services to cover the shortfall. 

  • Our poll showed that 85% of Albertans want to be able to vote on any decision related to a provincial police service. 

  • The poll also showed that 67% of Albertans feel replacing the RCMP with a provincial police service will not reduce crime.
