About the CPS
Our Mission:
"To optimize public safety
in the City of Calgary"
Calgary Police Commission
Mission Statement
"To ensure that the Police Service responds to the needs of the people of Calgary for a safe city."
The Calgary Police Commission is the civilian body to which the Calgary Police Service is accountable. The nine members of the Commission are volunteers appointed by City Council to oversee the Service. The Police Act of Alberta gives the Commission responsibility for:
- appointing the Chief of Police,
- establishing policing priorities,
- allocating funds provided by City Council, and
- monitoring the public complaint process.
The Police Commission acts as a link between the community and the Service with a mandate to balance the requirements of public accountability with those of police independence, and to provide an interface between the Calgary Police Service, elected officials and other agencies.
