"Not only are we increasing accessibility, but we have also created a training model with the ongoing understanding that we need to teach, at multiple layers, good de-escalation techniques that are current and are up to date with Canadian content, and that allows employers to intelligently fiscally manage their resources to keep the public safe."

"We now provide officers the ability to get instant gratification from their own commitment to learning, and an opportunity for ongoing learning, at their own pace, in a less stressful kind of environment, where it just makes the learning stick longer. They are going to retain it longer, and on top of that, they can revisit it. They can go back into their online courses and get those questions answered. That’s a huge takeaway.
And then, on a more personal note, I want their mindset to reflect that everything is winnable. And I want them to know someone is there to support their learning."
-Sean Carter

WHAT IS A PEACE OFFICER?
Peace Officers (POs) are responsible for promoting, monitoring, assessing, and assisting in maintaining peace in our Alberta communities. Peace Officers add support and flexibility to law enforcement organizations by providing a variety of specific, limited law enforcement functions and support services to the communities in which they serve, according to what the community requires.
Their appointment includes services they are required to perform, such as education and enforcing various laws based on the authorities they have been granted. Duties may range from animal control, bylaw enforcement, traffic control to others.
