Alberta in talks to introduce a new stream for Police Officers

The province is also discussing plans to introduce a new PR program for foreigners employed as police officers in Canada. The new pathway would help the police services in Alberta fulfill the recruitment goals for public protection while addressing crime promptly. The primary criteria are that the invitees have an employment offer from a Police member of the Alberta Association of Chiefs and that the employer must also be a lawful member of the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police.

 

The occupations that are eligible under the PR program are:

 

• Commissioned and non-commissioned police officers and related occupations in public protection services
• Other specialized law enforcement occupations
• Police investigators and other investigative occupations
