January 4th marks Canada’s National Ribbon Skirt Day, inspired by Isabella Kulak of the Cote First Nation, who faced ridicule for wearing a ribbon skirt to school. Ribbon skirts symbolize Indigenous pride and identity, traditionally worn during ceremonies but also embraced as everyday attire or symbols of activism. For the Edmonton Police Service, recognizing this day emphasizes cultural awareness and inclusivity. It honors Indigenous traditions, stands against discrimination, and strengthens relationships within our community.

“I think they say it takes a village to raise kids, right? And even though they may not have that village, we, as police, can always step up and help be that village.” When EPS Constable Amanda Thompson responded to a welfare check what she found in a dark house with no furniture was a single mother of four who had just escaped an abusive situation. This was not a call Thompson could just walk away from. After putting the woman in touch with additional resources through the Edmonton Police Service HELP team she decided to bring “a little Christmas spirit” into the woman’s life. “The community has really stepped up,” she says. “We received toys, clothes, gift cards, and $450 in cash.” Thompson is not alone in giving back to the community. Constable Matthew Bruno raised over $10,000 to buy toys for children at the Stollery, Kids’ Cottage, and other charities with help from a year’s worth of bottle drives and generous donations from local businesses, the Edmonton Police Association, and the Edmonton Police Foundation. “I wish they could see the impact they have because when you physically go to the Stollery and you give a kid a toy, you must experience it to understand it. The kids are very grateful for the visit.” Bruno believes that as a police officer he has an obligation to be a leader, and to motivate and give people hope, particularly children.

Edmonton Police Service cadets have been helping Santa this month. The cadets collected food donations for their Cadet Hamper Family, and toys for the Stollery Children’s Hospital. On December 19, the cadets delivered the hamper to the grateful family, who were thankful for the generous donation. The cadets will also be delivering toys to the Stollery in time for Christmas. And to start the New Year off right, the cadets are volunteering at the Edmonton Food Bank on January 2nd. The Edmonton Police Service cadets program focuses on the development and preparation of youth in becoming responsible citizens through leadership-based activities, teamwork, and community volunteering.

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) and IT company Technology North have successfully completed a research development project and are moving forward with a permanent autism employment program for body worn video redaction. In June 2024, Technology North and the EPS partnered to launch a research development project involving the redaction of body worn camera footage in low complexity incidents. Recently, both organizations solidified a service agreement to make the program a permanent part of the EPS’ Digital Evidence and Records Management Unit. Technology North’s employees have begun working on an as-needed, contract basis, with the expectation of hiring additional team members as body worn cameras continue to be deployed across the service throughout 2025. “We are thrilled to say this development project was a resounding success, and we look forward to welcoming additional members of the Technology North team in 2025,” says Supt. Derek McIntyre with the EPS Information and Analytics Division. Click the link to learn more. https://bit.ly/4iGFuRE
