Peace Officer Training
The Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services develops the initial training for Peace Officers in Alberta. The Community Peace Officer Induction Program (CPOIP) is 7 weeks long. The City continues to deliver the CPOIP course via a Memorandum Of Understanding with the Government of Alberta.
In-house training is delivered through a field training program and classroom learning. Some external training delivery is informed by, developed and taught by members of marginalized communities. Since July 2020, the Community Standards and Neighbourhoods Branch has been incorporating and mandating new training for branch members and management.

Testimonials
We're quite proud of the work they do, so let's hear from some of our inspectors and regulatory officers as to why they enjoy their role.
I decided to come to the City of Edmonton as they are an equal opportunity employer that offers competitive wages, excellent benefits and pension, and an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
— Cory Unreiner, Municipal Enforcement Officer
Some qualities that define the City as an employer would be reliable and progressive. Working for the City has been a rewarding opportunity. The environment is stable and allows for growth.
— Doug Yaceyko, Team Lead/Sergeant
Being a Park Ranger is exciting and rewarding for me because I never know what to expect from day to day! My job duties are very diverse and always interesting. I have the opportunity to interact every day with people from many different cultural backgrounds and walks of life.
I might be hiking on an isolated trail deep in the river valley one day, and find myself at an event attended by thousands of people the next. I really appreciate the freedom that my job entails. The Edmonton River Valley is exceptional, and it's great to be a part of keeping it that way.
— Ashley Whitlock, Parks Ranger
