The Calgary Police Commission is a body of 10 community members and two city councillors appointed by Calgary City Council and the Government of Alberta to provide independent citizen governance and oversight of Calgary's police. Police in democracies need to be both free from political interference and accountable to the public. Alberta’s Police Act balances these needs by having the police answer to appointed police commissions. Calgary's police chief reports directly to our Commission and we provide direction to the Calgary Police Service through the chief, police policies, monitoring of the police conduct complaint process, and approval of how the police budget is spent. Please note, our page is not monitored 24/7 and we are separate from the Calgary Police Service. To contact the police, call 911 for emergencies or 403-266-1234 for non-emergencies. Comments on our posts are moderated according to LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies, which can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/professional-community-policies#be-professional-policy.
