APPENDIX A

CORPORATE PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK

EPS uses a corporate performance management framework to drive accountability and use data and information to assess and improve organizational performance. The framework is based on and aligns with the Canadian Police Performance Measurement Framework that was co-developed between the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs and Statistics Canada. The indicators and measures in this report are part of the corporate performance framework. It is important to highlight the differences between indicators and measures, as outlined below:

These broad data points are indicative of the safety and wellness of the communities that EPS serves. EPS believes that the actions it takes to influence indicators must be complemented by many other partners and stakeholders to make a meaningful difference.

These data points are more targeted and speak to things that are more within the span of control of EPS to directly influence.

Our goals and corresponding initiatives are identified in the EPS 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, while targeted outcomes are laid out in our 2023-2026 Business Plan along with allocation of resources and expected timelines.

EPS leadership provides an update on its Business Plan to the Edmonton Police Commission (EPC) twice a year in March and in September.

An update is also provided to the EPC on the Strategic Plan once a year in March.
The Annual Report functions as a public update on the progress made toward goals and outcomes set in the Strategic Plan.
Timely information on crime statistics and trends is also available to the public through the Community Safety and Data Portal.

EPS also reports regularly to EPC on its activities. Some of these reports include:

Provincial Police Standards Audit: Edmonton Police Service
Criminal Flight Report
EPS Control Tactics Statistical Report
Street Check Audit Report

Through these data driven and evidence-based mechanisms, we hold ourselves accountable to the people of Edmonton and provide a means for them to assess our performance as an organization that plays a leading role in improving public safety and community well-being.

APPENDIX B

Edmonton Police Service Governance Framework

Police in democracies need to be both free from political interference and accountable to the public. To balance these needs, Alberta’s Police Act requires that the City Council appoint an independent police commission for the police to report to, instead of reporting directly to Council. While the Council still approves the total police budget, only the Edmonton Police Commission can direct how the budget is spent. The Commission also supervises the police chief, sets police policies, and monitors the police conduct complaint process.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Treaty 6 Territory ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ Métis Region 4.

We are located in amiskwaciwâskahikan (Beaver Hills) on Treaty 6 territory and Métis Region 4. Edmonton Police Service recognizes that the relationships between policing and Indigenous communities is complex and requires considerable work to address. On the path towards reconciliation, it is essential to acknowledge the truth of our placement on the land which the signing of the treaties are responsible for. Without this understanding and agreement of land sharing, Canada would not exist as it does today. In recognition of the commitment between the Crown and sovereign Indigenous communities, the Edmonton Police Service would like to acknowledge the people and the agreement of Treaty 6 signatories, home to centuries of Indigenous Peoples, including but not limited to the Cree, Dene, Anishinaabe, Blackfoot, Papaschase, Nakota Sioux, and the Métis Peoples. As we are all Canadians, we are all Treaty people.
