After 18 years, Friday was my last day working for the @edmontonpolice. Being a cop has been a calling, a struggle at times, and an honour.

#DidYouknow? The Problem Property Initiative cleared an average of 120,000 pounds of debris from several problem properties in the McCauley neighbourhood and backfilled the lots with clean dirt. See a problem property, report it at edmonton.ca/ProblemPropert…

Take extra precautions for your pets in this hot weather. For tips on how to keep your pet cool in the heat and signs of heatstroke, visit edmonton.ca/petsafety.

It just so happens the @CityofEdmonton is looking for #PeaceOfficers. Check it out! linkedin.com/jobs/view/3584… @AWIPS_AB @Blue_LineMag @30x30initiative #yegjobs #yeg

6 months into our @30x30initiative pledge & I'm excited to share our new website to highlight the work we're doing to increase the representation of women in law enforcement. The team has done great work bringing this together! edmonton.ca/city_governmen… #yeg #WomenInLawEnforcement

Feature: @CityofEdmonton Park Ranger Zain Haji talked to his alma mater @MacEwanU about being out on patrol in Edmonton’s vast urban park & river valley system. Check it out: macewan.ca/campus-life/ne… #yeg #peaceofficer #yegrivervalley #riversafety

Be on the lookout for a false text message asking you to pay City bylaw tickets. The false message looks like the image below. The City of Edmonton will never contact you by text message to pay bylaw tickets. Never click on any text message links that you don’t trust.

If you are interested in working in #PublicSafety, we are recruiting for Transit Peace Officers (edmonton.taleo.net/careersection/…), Park Rangers (edmonton.taleo.net/careersection/…), & Community Peace Officers (edmonton.taleo.net/careersection/…)

In 2022, the @CityofEdmonton joined the @30x30initiative to grow our representation of women and other under-considered groups in law enforcement roles. I'm proud to be part of that work as we #EmbraceEquity and work for more #WomenInLawEnforcement

On #InternationalWomensDay, I'd like to acknowledge & celebrate the contribution women #PeaceOfficers make in #yeg on a daily basis - investigating animal welfare complaints, working to keep our transit system safe, & working with community partners to advance #PublicSafety.

Proud of my team’s involvement in this new project. Watch for @CityofEdmonton peace officers & other staff identifying the languages they speak other than English. #yeg #inclusion

@rylan_simpson One of my favourite films. So much to unpack.

I argue that #fictional #media offers conduit by which criminal justice actors, orgs & institutions are presented, interpreted & contested. 🚔 Although stated focus is entertainment, such media can exhibit sig implications. Article avail free via: jcjpc.org/s/Policing-in-… 4/4

Policing is everywhere, incl in #film. Search of IMDb finds >18000 titles. Many directed at mature audiences. But how about kids? In new pub, I explore depiction & implications of policing in #Disney's #Zootopia, a youth-oriented, animated film: jcjpc.org/s/Policing-in-… 🧵: 1/4

We’re hiring Peace Officers! Are you up for the challenge? Check it out: recruitment.edmonton.ca/job/45692/Comm… #yeg #yegjobs #PeaceOfficer #PublicSafety

@ChiefFletcher Isn’t that an incredible read?

Just finished. Recommend 10/10. We may not be to blame but we are responsible.

@OilersAlbMom I’m so sorry, Cheryl. My thoughts are with you right now. 💔

Sadly I need to tell you that my husband Brian Stuart passed away yesterday January 12,2023 after a lengthy illness. I was so blessed to have been married to this man for almost 30 years and am grateful for all the memories I have of our life together.

@StephenABishopp @DallasPD @DPDChiefGarcia Congratulations! Such a valuable position. Enjoy.

I was thinking of retiring from @DallasPD, but @DPDChiefGarcia had other ideas. I'm so very honored and thankful for my recent promotion to Major. My role is now Division Commander (Major) of DPD's new Research & Development Division.

Our goal was to provide modern and practical tools for frontline staff to fight hate. Lighthouse does this with technology that captures, categorizes and tracks hate symbols. #FightHateForGood

Very excited about this latest project we unveiled today & thankful for the partnership with the @ADL as we push for a safer & more inclusive #yeg! #AntiRacism edmonton.ca/city_governmen…

ETS is offering free service from 6pm until the end of service on New Year’s Eve. Schedules for many routes are extended for evening/late night service. Check your schedule at edmonton.ca/transit #yegtraffic #yegtransit

@KrisAndreychuk They’ve put you on notice. 😏

We assume the kids meant “# 1 Dad” & “# 1 Mom” 🙃 #HappyNewYear
