incident description: **The account below is a community submission to the Archive. It has been anonymized to protect the identity of the person(s) and agency involved. This account is a personal reflection based on lived experience and opinions. All incidents are allegations not proven in a court of law, and the Archive does not investigate the veracity of reported incidents.** On May 23 around 1:30 pm, I had walked from my home to a park bench while experiencing an autistic meltdown. My partner was worried about me and called the police, with the understanding that they would send a crisis intervention team paired with an AHS mental health specialist to assess the situation and ensure my safety. A screenshot of the PACT (Police and Crisis Response Team) policy from their website is attached. I texted [my partner] with my exact GPS coordinates. There were other witnesses there that can attest to me sitting/lying peacefully (though crying) on the park bench. [My partner] came and found me. We embraced. She consoled me. And she told me I’d have to talk to the police before we went home. I said “I don’t want to talk to the police” (bad experiences, go figure). When the male officer who had just came into my field of vision said my “boyfriend” was pretty worried about me, I responded “not my boyfriend” (as she is trans). IMMEDIATELY both officers had their hands on me (the female officer from behind on my left (I hadn’t even seen her), and the male officer right in my face. I didn’t recall until later that in this moment I screamed. The same blood curdling scream I’ve let out when assaulted previously. I left my body. I wasn’t there. I was again a powerless child in the vice grip of my abusive father. The male officer then slapped me in the face. From there they were dragging me, tackling me, trying to restrain me, threatening to taze me, and never telling me why. [My partner], who had made the call in the first place, was BEGGING them to stop, asking them why they were escalating, pleaded …

description: **The following is an excerpt from a larger testimonial provided by an Edmonton harm reduction community organizer. It has been automatically transcribed using Otter.ai and anonymized. It has not been independently investigated and all incidents described therein are alleged. ** I was trying to think of like some other like cases of police violence that we've kind of been like, a bit more proximal to. And one of the ones was just like, there was a old woman who, I think now she is like in hospice care, but she was staying in a tent, kind of like by the train tracks south of white Ave. And it was really quite obvious that, like everybody in this situation, really wanted to get her into housing, even the cops and like the cops who were involved were always like, trying to be you. Like, as as good as they could be, but like, at a certain point they just, they're like, we, we have to do our job. And like, we have to, like, kick this woman out of her tent and move her somewhere else. And they even acknowledged how, just, like, pointlessly Sisyphean, this was because they were like, we will. We need to move you from this spot. I We will take your belongings in the back of the police car and move you to somewhere else that we think people are less likely to complain about because, like, we can't get you into housing right now. Everyone can recognize this like old lady who is like sick and clearly needs help, should not be on the street, but also, they got the complaint, they have to move her. And so it's just like, even when they were being nice, even when it's like, yes, we're gonna pick up all your belongings, we're gonna help you move them to a new spot, it's still just like, you just didn't have to move her, though, like, there's even when they're, like, trying to engage their humanity. It's just like their job is to be bastards and to do violence. And that one really, like, stuck out at me again, similar to that other case, where it's like they took someone's tent, pu…

description: **The following is an excerpt from a larger testimonial provided by an Edmonton harm reduction community organizer. It has been automatically transcribed using Otter.ai and anonymized. It has not been independently investigated and all incidents described therein are alleged. ** We're here on like, Whyte Ave, and there's businesses that are always just like, all these homeless people, like peeing on the back of our stores, breaking our windows, causing a scene, and it's like, and how much of that, though, is because it's like, you know, how many times can you be told, No, you can't go to the bathroom here before you break like, I think about that all the time that you know we have the privilege of being able to go in to private to do our business. This is like, sometimes we just can't. And, yeah, and it's just like, how many, how many little, tiny indignities could you suffer before you were like, fuck you. And I think a lot of people actually have a pretty short fuse for that. And like in my day job, I interact with public quite frequently. And it's staggering how many people have like, freak outs every, every single day. But they have their freak outs at home, or they're, you know, they're freaking out, but they have enough money that they can get in their car and drive away once things get heated, like they don't have to have these crises in public. And so no one really notices or cares, but someone has a crisis in public, and suddenly they're getting thrown into the concrete face first by a police officer and. It's just like this ridiculous double standard, and from a harm reduction perspective, it really doesn't need to exist. Like one of the campaigns that we had a few years ago was like potties, not police that think about how much better our communities would be, especially like white Avenue downtown, if we had public bathrooms everywhere. Like, how much less conflict would there be if people weren't being turned away from businesses all the time? If they we…

description: **The following is an excerpt from a larger testimonial provided by an Edmonton harm reduction community organizer. It has been automatically transcribed using Otter.ai and anonymized. It has not been independently investigated and all incidents described therein are alleged. ** One of the really, like, interesting moments of just like, the way that police interact with our communities was also at Camp Pekiwewin, which was a large homeless encampment down in the river valley, and prayer and relief camp. And one night, someone got sucker punched, someone called the cops, but every police officer in the city apparently was maintaining the exclusion zone around the Rogers place arena because the Oilers were playing, and this was like height of the pandemic. And so the only unit that could respond to the sucker punch was apparently the tactical unit. So that's who they send down to camp. They roll up in like an APC, they all get out of the van in their like military uniforms, and they stand around doing fuck all, except intimidating people and making it difficult for our, like, Med Team to go and, like, you know, care for this person who had been sucker punched. Because, like, the cops are trying to, like, maintain a cordon before the ambulance shows up, but there's, like, no ambulance in sight. They're nowhere. And like, the person doesn't really need an ambulance. They they were punched. They're a little bit out of it. But like, this is something that can be responded to by like, a nurse. But it just like it was such a bizarre, just like, exercise of force, and just like, it's utterly pointless, and yeah, that was the excuse that we got when we asked the police. It's like, Why the fuck did tactical show up? And they were like, yeah, it was the only unit that was available. Like, who knows if that's true, right? Who knows? But, like, either way, like, it was, it was terrifying. Like, people were really freaked out to have, you know, guys in military combat fatigues, yo…

description: **The following is an excerpt from a larger testimonial provided by an Edmonton harm reduction community organizer. It has been automatically transcribed using Otter.ai and anonymized. It has not been independently investigated and all incidents described therein are alleged. ** But we have also encountered police violence like here directly as we were doing our work, one of the examples, and this one is actually on videotape as well, like it was featured in the very beginning of the safer for all documentary that was released recently put out by the John Humphrey center. And so we were here doing street outreach, and there was someone who was in crisis in the alleyways along white Ave, and they're very well known to the community. Everyone kind of knows this person and knows that, like, if they're not on their meds, or if they're having a bad day, they can be loud and, you know, difficult, but they're not a threat to anyone, like they have never hurt anyone, and they're just loud and sometimes wander out into the road, which is not the end of the world, right? And so, you know, three, one or two on one had been called, and like they tried to help, didn't want any help. Ambulance and fire arrived. Try to help, but, you know, they're not having a medical emergency. They're just having a bad day. And so they also, you know, they don't want to be incarcerated, in the sense of, like, they don't be dragged into the back of an ambulance and sedated, like it's just not something they're looking to do. And so they tell the ambulance drivers to fuck off. You know, they're aggressive and loud, but not violent. And I'm there watching all of this going on, and I'm like, There's no threat that this person poses. They just want to be left alone, and people are just not leaving them alone. And so we try to, like, intervene, and just try to be like, hey. Like, I will, like, you know, stand between, like, talk to people as you do as, like, a nice, white collar professional to other …

description: **The following is an excerpt from a larger testimonial provided by an Edmonton harm reduction community organizer. It has been automatically transcribed using Otter.ai and anonymized. It has not been independently investigated and all incidents described therein are alleged. ** I'm very glad that no actual violence happened. But as someone who owns firearms and knows how to operate them. This really stood out to me as just like one of the most fucking scary things that I've seen a cop do in a while. There we were here doing street outreach, and there was an Amber Alert that had gone in, a kid had gone missing, and they thought that he had been abducted on a school bus. So police were basically going around the city, pulling over every single school bus trying to find this kid, and so they pull over a school bus over here by the funeral home near White Ave and the cops board the bus from the back through the emergency door with his car being drawn and pointed straight forward into the bus A where there are children at B pointed straight down gateway Boulevard towards the next act and meet patios, which were full at the time. And I was just sitting there watching this police officer draw a carbine to serve an Amber Alert full of a bus full of children in front of patios. And I was like, if they had fired that firearm, there is no chance in hell they would have hit their intended target. And there are hundreds of people who would have been in line of fire like this was such an absolutely stunningly reckless thing to do, and yet, these are the people that we are supposed to trust with with guns and firearms like these are who keep our community safe, but like, the very first rule of firearms is, do not point them at anything you are not willing to destroy. Right? The next act, patio should not be destroyed. Children should not be destroyed. It was the most deranged thing I have seen a police officer do, just like, casually, like this wasn't a high stress environment. T…

description: **The following is an excerpt from a larger testimonial provided by an Edmonton harm reduction community organizer. It has been automatically transcribed using Otter.ai and anonymized. It has not been independently investigated and all incidents described therein are alleged. ** Story 1: Encampment Destruction So one of the things that's interesting about doing street outreach is that we do have, like, I do have some experience with police violence, and most of it ends up being secondhand. And so one of the things that we hear about, often from people who are unhoused, is just like the way that police destroy encampments, and like the damage that this does to people's lives. And one of the things that, I think is really one of the incidents that really stands out to me was there was a guy who was camping down in the river valley, and he was camped out in the same place for three weeks, and just about every week, the police would come through and they would destroy all of his belongings. And you know, EPS always maintains you know, they don't slash tents and yada yada yada. And it's like, yeah, maybe they're not going through with a knife and literally slashing tents, but they're throwing them in the back of dumpsters like they're they're just putting them immediately into dump trucks like there's no no care given for people's belongings and people who are doing this to survive. But there was one incident that really, like, emphasized how just, like, pointless and cruel that practices. Because there was one day that his camp was taken down, and the, you know, the crew that attended it, took down his tent, put it back in the bag, and left it under a tree for him. And so when he came back his his camp had been cleared out, but his tent was still there, and so he was able to take it and move on somewhere else. And like, that incident just like, like, was a really, like, poignant note for me, of being like, this is all totally unnecessary. Like, all of the violence that …

incident description: **The account below is a community submission to the Archive. It has been anonymized to protect the identity of the person(s) and agency involved. This account is a personal reflection based on lived experience and opinions. All incidents are allegations not proven in a court of law, and the Archive does not investigate the veracity of reported incidents.** On May 26, 2025, at approximately 3:37 PM, [staff member], the [position], was outside the [downtown community agency] building with youth and another staff member when two uniformed Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officers approached the entrance. [Staff member], following what had been communicated from the beginning of [their] employment as [agency]’s standing “no police inside the building” policy (designed to maintain a trauma-informed, low-barrier space), gently attempted to intercept the officers. [Staff member] greeted them calmly with a smile and offered to bring out a frontline worker to speak with them, per protocol. Before [staff member] could finish speaking, one of the officers grabbed [their] arms and pushed [them] aside, nearly knocking [them] down. [They] began bruising immediately and was left visibly distressed. The same officer proceeded to threaten [staff member] and three other frontline staff members with arrest, accusing them of “obstructing justice.” He claimed they were in “hot pursuit” of an armed suspect allegedly inside the building. However, neither officer had their weapons drawn, and the search was brief and careless, with no clear urgency or safety precautions in place. No one on staff had witnessed the alleged suspect acting aggressively or violently, and no weapons were seen.

incident description: **The account below is a community submission to the Archive. This account is a personal reflection based on lived experience and opinions. All incidents are allegations not proven in a court of law, and the Archive does not investigate the veracity of reported incidents.** It wasn't your typical police violence, but in the face of the opioid epidemic, I feel this story is important. My name will remain anonymous, but I am an Indigenous two-spirit person in my early 20's. I work in an emergency response capacity (non- police, EMS or fire) and have a decent amount of medical training for my job. I can't say what I do, or I'll loose my job but let's just say my job has something to do with water safety. I have a decent amount of medical training. I was attending Edmonton's drag fest with my Auntie and we were walking back to the festival after getting dinner. I looked up past the statue of our colonizer, Winston churchill and saw the torsos of police crowded around *something* - I decided to go and investigate . My suspicions were correct, there was a mid- forties indigenous man actively experiencing a drug poisoning. He was blue. He was making the snoring sounds. I stated my name and certifications and let the officers know I would now be assisting this person. I asked if they had initiated EMS, which thankfully they had but they had only provided one dose of intranasal naloxone nearly 5 minutes prior and were not engaging in any other resuscitation efforts. I threw my gloves on and began preparing an IM naloxone injection while encouraging the man to take breaths and placing him in a position where it would be easier for him to breathe. The officers attempted to stop me from performing my efforts, stated I was "heated" and needed to "calm down" , told me they "dealt with this everyday" and that narcan takes 5 minutes to work. (First of all, so do I and no, no it doesn't, the intervals are 2 minutes between doses ) . The officers proceeded to continue to verbally har…

incident date: 10/26/2015
incident description: At 11:52 a.m. on Oct 26, 2015, an EPS transport van with 6 people on board left the EPS Detention Management Unit (DMU) en route to the Edmonton Remand Centre. The 46 year old, Kenneth Shymkiw, was "yelling and kicking while being placed into the Police Service transport van" (Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, 2015). During the car ride, the officers noted that Shymkiw had quieted down and stopped the vehicle to find him unresponsive and in medical distress. CPR was performed and Shymkiw was transported by EMS to the hospital where he was declared to be deceased. Post autopsy, it was determined that the cause of death was a "hyperadrenergic state (high adrenaline) due to an acute schizophrenic psychosis" (Report to the Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Public Fatality Inquiry, 2020).

A 24 hour counsel is now present at the DMU that would avoid the need for the unnecessary transport of some individuals. EMTs are now embedded at the DMU in order to properly assess any medical conditions that may become worse during holding/transport. The use of the Police and Crisis Response Team (PACT) was advised in this incident.

incident title: Man dies after being tasered by police
incident date: 12/07/2015
incident description: At 11:30 pm on Dec 7, 2015, EPS responded to a 911 call at an Edmonton residence, 120 Ave & 58 St. In the home, they observed a 49-year old man who was agitated and armed with a knife; the man's teenage son was there and had been heard calling for help during the confrontation (ASIRT 2015, 2017). The man's behavior was perceived as erratic and threatening (ASIRT reports), three officers discharged their conducted energy weapons, or Tasers, and the man was restrained and disarmed, additional units were called in by the police, recognizing the urgency of the situation. "Two minutes and 55 seconds later" he went into medical distress, officers performed first aid until EMS arrived (Edmonton Journal, 2017). The man was pronounced dead at the hospital. ASIRT opened an investigation in 2015. In 2017, they released their findings, which indicated that although the use of Tasers contributed to the cause of death, ASIRT concluded that the officers were acting appropriately given the circumstances. The chief medical examiner found the man died of “excited delirium syndrome” related to methamphetamine toxicity, ASIRT said. The struggle with police was considered “a significant contributory condition” in the death" (Edmonton Journal, 2017). **Archive note: the term 'excited delirium syndrome' has no clinical validation and is disproportionately used to describe men of colour who die in interactions with police. Several medical associations, including the American Psychological Association, have called for its discontinuation, see https://www.psychiatry.org/getattachment/7769e617-ee6a-4a89-829f-4fc71d831ce0/Position-Use-of-Term-Excited-Delirium.pdf . However, EPS continues to frequently use this term, usually to describe people who die after being tasered.**

incident title: RCMP officer charged with sexual assault
incident date: November 10, 2008
incident description: On November 10, 2008, Constable Mario Jimenez of the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP sexually assaulted a fellow officer while off-duty at a party at the Boysdale camp in Sturgeon County. According to the agreed statement of facts, the victim/survivor was in the kitchen washing whiskey from her face and hands that Jimenez had spilled on her and about to leave the party when Jimenez assaulted her. Jimenez cornered her, pinned her against the wall, restrained her, degraded her with obscenities, and fondled her breasts. Following the incident, Jimenez was arrested and charged with one count of sexual assault following an investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team on January 9, 2010. In January 2010, Jimenez first pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of assault at a court hearing in. In June 2010, Jimenez pleaded guilty to the full charge of sexual assault at an RCMP disciplinary hearing. According to multiple news reports, pleading guilty to the lesser charge of assault at the court hearing meant that Jimenez was likely going to be able to avoid a criminal record if he satisfied his probationary conditions. In June 2010, the RCMP disciplinary board ordered Jimenez to quit within 14 days or be fired. As of February 2011, Jimenez remained on the force under suspension awaiting an appeal to be scheduled. The archival team has been unable to locate the results of the appeal. In November 2010, the victim/survivor of the assault filed a successful civil lawsuit against Jimenez and was awarded $425,000 of assessed damages plus legal fees. In a victim impact statement read at Jimenez’s disciplinary hearing in June 2010, the officer who was assaulted said that the incident has fundamentally changed her relationship with her profession, stating that “being a police officer and raised in a family where my dad was a member, I developed a sense that this organization was the right place for me and it became my extended family. On the night you forced yourself on me, that all …

incident date: 2016-10-22
incident description: Edmonton Police officers were dispatched on October 22, 2016 at approximately 8:33 p.m. to the area of Fox Drive and Fort Edmonton Park Road in response to a 911 call. A shirtless man attempted to flee from multiple officers and a helicopter, falling down an embankment before being captured with the use of a taser and police dog. One deceased individual was found in the area during the search, with the fleeing man being designated as suspect. Emergency medical services on the scene determined the man had a collapsed lung, for which he was taken to hospital.

On a toxicology screen, he was found positive for LSD.

incident title: Indigenous man fatally shot by officer in Glenwood
incident date: March 30, 2011
incident description: Kinling Robin Fire, 39, was fatally wounded by EPS officers on March 30, 2011. The events took place in the Edmonton neighbourhood of Glenwood, shortly before midnight. EPS officers Const. Brent Fox and Const. Brendan Power were dispatched to locate a Fire, who was believed to be suicidal. The officers also received a report of suspected impaired driver, who turned out to be Fire. Relatives of Fire reported that he was distraught after an argument with his ex-girlfriend and that he had consumed a bottle of prescription sleeping medication. Fire was found by the officers driving his car near a west-end apartment building at 155th Street and 100th Avenue. When Fire did not exit the vehicle or respond to Power, Power broke the driver’s side window with his baton and unlocked, then opened the driver’s side door. Fire exited the car, angry, and began moving toward Power while holding a metal bar. Fire continued to approach Power and Power fired two shots, hitting Fire in the chest. After handcuffing Fire, EPS administered medical services on the scene and Fire was transported to the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, where he was pronounced dead around 4:00 am on Thursday, March 31, 2011. The results of an ASIRT investigation were released on July 24, 2012, stating that the actions of the officer were justified, and no charges would be filed. A report into the fatality inquiry by was released in 2015, coming to the same conclusion as ASIRT. In 2017, the family of Fire applied a judicial review, calling for a new inquiry into the events of March 30, 2011. Fire’s sister, Wanda Bearboy, reports that despite numerous calls to Alberta Justice requesting information about the inquiry, Bearboy was not included in the process or informed of her rights, like the ability to call witnesses or ask for an adjournment.

incident ID: 221204
incident description: On December 28, 2013 victim attended Edmonton Oilers hockey game at Recall Place and later was arrested and detained by the Edmonton Police Service (EPS). The victim submitted Statement of claim that he was not informed of reasons for his arrest and detention at Rexall Place by any of respondents along with unlawful and unnecessary exercise of authority, force, insubordination, and neglect of duty. Further, it is alleged that victim was not immediately advised of his Charter rights upon arrival at Downtown Division, and that he wasn’t provided opportunity to speak to counsel until approximately three hours after his arrest. The timing of completion of the investigation was such that it was completed and forwarded to counsel for review before the letter from the appellant’s counsel dated August 6, 2015 was received by PSB. The suggested importance of the transcript was not flagged by appellant’s counsel and a copy was not provided to PSB or the Chief. There is no evidence on the record of lack of transparency or that the or the Chief deliberately ignored information in the trial transcript that was decisive of an important issue. The Board concluded that the investigation conducted by the Chief was reasonable and not tainted or compromised.

incident ID: 221201
incident description: The victim alleges that in 2009, Constable Dzioba pulled him over for a missing licence plate. The Statement of Claim states that the victim cooperated by getting out of the car, placing his keys on the ground, putting his hands behind his head and approaching the officer to surrender. Despite this, the victim claims that Dzioba deployed his police dog without any warning or prior instruction to the victim. The victim suffered extensive injuries as the dog bit him for several minutes, resulting in permanent injuries and muscle damage. In 2012, Dzioba was due to attend a disciplinary hearing for unlawful or unnecessary exercise of authority and deceit with relation to this event. He turned in his badge and resigned the day before the hearing was meant to occur.

incident title: Indigenous youth shot and killed by officer
incident ID: 221200
incident description: On February 5th, 2011, Constable Redlick and several other officers were dispatched to a robbery call. At the scene, there was a confrontation between officers and a 17 year old Indigenous boy. Officers claim that the teen carried a knife and a baseball bat, and charged toward Redlick, yelling "you're going to have to shoot me". No physical contact or altercation had yet been made with the victim when Redlick shot him three times from what he judged to be around three meters away. He died soon after on the operating table. Family and friends on the Cold Lake First Nation say that he was a troubled boy and struggled with alcohol addiction but didn't deserve to die. A fatality inquiry report released in August 2014 ruled that Redlick's actions were justified because the officers at the scene were faced with lethal force. An investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team also found Redlick's actions justified in December of 2011. The teen's family sued police, alleging that Redlick's testimony contained contradictions and fabrications. The teen's father hired a lawyer that asserted an Indigenous investigator should have been hired to look into the case.

incident title: Youth victim cooperates with arrest, officer tases him despite cooperation
incident ID: 221199
incident description: On April 3, 2004, a 21 year old man was followed by police in a car chase through North Edmonton. He was stopped with spike belts and got out of the car at a run. Soon he surrendered and dropped on his stomach to the ground. He was approached by six officers, including Constable Wasylyshen, who kicked him in the head. A knee was placed on his back holding him down, bloodying his face. He was then tasered multiple times by several officers.While attempting to handcuff him, Wasylyshen broke and injured fingers on the victim's hand. At a cross-examination after the event, the court found Wasylyshen to have displayed a disturbing arrogance and an unwillingness to confront his mistakes. In a 2012 disciplinary hearing, Wasylyshen was found guilty of two counts of unlawful or unnecessary exercise of authority and insubordination.

incident title: Victim endures extensive delay of justice and lingering mental anguish when officer fails to lay charges against sexual violence perpetrator as directed
incident ID: 221198
incident description: A series of delays and poor communication with regards to handling sexual assault charges caused considerable distress to a victim who had been sexually abused by both her father and brother. On December 30, 2009, Officer Dahl completed an arrest report detailing the arrest of a man for multiple crimes against his sister, including sexual assault. He also forwarded information to the Delta Police Department regarding laying charges against the victim's father for historic sexual assaults that had previously been dismissed with no charges. In early 2010, the Delta Police Department returned the file to Dahl, stating that Crown approval was needed before they could proceed. The documents were forwarded to the Edmonton Crown Prosecutor's office in May of 2010. On November 2, 2011, Officer Dahl was forwarded a letter from the Crown recommending charges of sexual interference and sexual assault against the victim's father. The letter included instructions for Dahl to notify the Crown when the charges were laid and initial court date. In 2013 Dahl appeared at the Assistant Chief Crown Prosecutor's office without appointment, announcing that he had never laid the charges as instructed. The victim had phoned him to inquire and he realized his mistake. Dahl was then subject to an EPS investigation on allegations of Neglect of Duty. Investigators contacted the victim who expressed frustration with the process for taking so long and preventing her from moving on with her life due to the trial hanging over her. She was also angered by the fact that her father had developed severe dementia and would be unlikely to be held accountable for his actions due to the delays. During a disciplinary hearing in 2015, the allegations were proven to be true. He was given an 80 hour suspension without pay.

When Marty asked about whether the officers had a warrant, one officer allegedly responded, falsely, that they didn't need one, after which Marty was then thrown to the ground. Allegedly, one officer stood on his head as others began kicking him and he was tased twice. After this ordeal, he was further detained.

He arrived at the suite the next day to find its door open and was met by a young man instead of the tenant. The man told Chu to leave a few times and attempted to escort him off the property, ultimately shoving him and causing Chu to fall. Chu called for help and was first assisted by paramedics before police arrived. Chu does not speak fluent English and when he attempted to explain to officers that he was hit, they allegedly replied, "nobody hit you". When he responded that this was "not fair", they forcefully handcuffed him. He asked them to remove the cuffs five times to which they did not respond; when he asked for their names, only one of two officers (Brown) disclosed their names.

incident title: Unhoused Indigenous individuals rounded up by EPS and transported to other side of city in "sweatbox" incident
incident ID: 221193
incident description: On or around May 20th, 2005, a group of 9 unhoused Indigenous peoples--6 men and 3 women--were picked up by EPS officers Hannas, Blackburn and Sauter on Whyte Avenue and locked in a police van. No one was told why they were being detained. The van lacked seatbelts and there was not enough room for all individuals to sit on the bench, forcing some to sit on the floor. The van was also hot and crowded, but officers refused to roll down windows or turn on air conditioning. They also denied bathroom requests from the individuals, resulting in one woman urinating on the floor of the vehicle. After being driven around for about 90 minutes with frequent sudden stops and forceful turns that made them fall into each other, they were later let out of the van in the area of 127 Avenue and 82 Street on the other side of the city.

incident title: Two men assaulted while handcuffed during arrest; officer charged and convicted
incident ID: 221192
incident description: In the early morning of December 15, 2008, Lauchlin Torry and Jean-Marc Viau were pulled over by Constable Haoyin Zheng during a vehicle stop near 145 Street and 104 Avenue. Torry and Viau were ordered out of the truck, which was later found to have been stolen. Police searched the men and found a piece of a coat hanger in Torry’s back pocket. While being handcuffed and put into the back of the police car, Torry and Viau report that they were beaten by Zheng. Torry testified in court that Zheng yelled at him, called him a “druggie”, and punched him on the cheek. During the trial, Constable Brad Stiksma testified that he heard Torry yell for help and noticed a fresh red scrape on his chin. Earlier in the trial, Viau testified that he was sitting handcuffed in the back of the police cruiser when Zheng leaned in, struck him with a flashlight three times, and repeatedly punched him in the head. After reporting pain in his ribs, Viau was taken to the hospital following the arrest. Viau was treated for bruising and was later released from the hospital. Zheng was charged with two counts of assault and one count of assault with a weapon in the alleged beating of Lauchlin Torry and Jean-Marc Viau. The judge ruled that Zheng used excessive force against Viau and he was found guilty of assault, receiving a conditional discharge, 12 months probation, and restriction to administrative duties. Zheng would later be convicted of another assault charge in an on-duty incident from 2010 and would resign from the Edmonton Police Service.

incident title: Victim hit repeatedly by officer in on-duty assault; officer resigns after conviction
incident ID: 221191
incident description: Officer Haoyin Zheng was charged with and convicted of assault after a 2010 incident in which he repeatedly physically assaulted an intoxicated man in a condo hallway. Sean Andrew Spicer had returned to his condo building drunk and had broken a glass door, trying to enter the residence after losing his keys. Officers were called to the scene, and while arresting him, Spicer reported that Zheng delivered several head stuns, knocked him to the ground, and hit him with additional stuns to the body while he was down. This use of force resulted in injuries to his shoulders, ribs, back and head. Spicer’s mother, Bonnie, says that her son no longer trusts the police. “We don’t want people like this as police officers” Zheng was found guilty of assaulting Spicer in a provincial court and resigned shortly after his conviction. Zheng has previously been convicted of assault in violent on-duty interactions, which Crown prosecutor Matt Dalidowicz argues is a “pattern of behaviour”. Zheng was found guilty of two counts of assault in November 2011. Earlier that year, Zheng was found guilty of an unrelated assault that occurred while he was making an arrest. He received a conditional discharge, 12 months probation, and was restricted to administrative duties in that conviction, stemming from a December 2008 case.

incident title: Man receives permanent facial injuries requiring surgery in assault by EPS officers
incident ID: 221189
incident description: Anthony Maskell was beaten and left with permanent facial injuries by Constables Nadine Comeau and Darin Goldenberg during a traffic stop in March of 2010. “This is a case of egregious police conduct — an unwarranted, grave assault causing serious permanent injuries,” Provincial court Judge Donna Groves said in a 2011 written ruling. “This is one of those ‘clearest of cases’ that requires the court to communicate unequivocally that such conduct will not be tolerated”. The officers pulled over Maskell because a check on his license plate revealed he was suspended from driving. Officers removed Maskell from the car and threw him to the ground, placing him in the prone position. Maskell said that he was aggressively handcuffed and that the handcuffs were too tight. Officer Weins, who arrived on the scene with his partner after Maskell was handcuffed, testified that Maskell was pushed against the side of the car to hold him up. Weins stated that Maskell was having difficulty holding himself up and his legs were unsteady. Maskell states that he was thrown like a “rag doll” and that his face was pushed against the car by officers Comeau and Goldenberg. He reported having difficulty remaining conscious and having difficulty remembering much of what happened during the encounter with police. The officers said that Maskell exhibited signs of impairment; however, Maskell explained that the slurred speech and any possible stumbling or disorientation on his part were symptoms of a head injury. Judge Grove noticed several inconsistencies between the testimony of Goldenberg and Comeau in their recounting of the events. The judge deemed Maskell’s testimony of events credible. Maskell’s family took him to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he underwent a CT scan and it was determined that Maskell had suffered severe facial trauma. Maskell was diagnosed with multiple facial bone fractures predominantly on the right side of his face. Maskell’s orbital bone was broken, as well as his …

incident title: Victim experiencing panic attack and suicidal thoughts encouraged by officer to "go ahead" and kill himself
incident ID: 221188
incident description: Tyler Lychak was experiencing a panic attack and thoughts of suicide when he was assaulted by Edmonton Police Officer Binoy Prabhu on November 3, 2017. The incident began when Lychek went to the west Edmonton Police Station to report concerns about someone who may have been selling drugs to minors outside of a nearby store. Upon exiting the police station, Lychak’s foot hit one of the sliding doors and dislodged it, causing a loud noise (which officer Derek Cranna testified to in a disciplinary hearing). Officer Prabhu and another officer followed Lychak to the parking lot where there was an argument. Lychak was arrested for mischief, placed in handcuffs, and escorted back into the police station. Lychak was brought into a holding cell and was searched by the officers. Officer Prabhu found a pressurized spray can of Sabre ‘Dog and Coyote Attack Deterrent’ in Lychak’s pocket and Lychak was informed that he was under arrest for possession of a weapon. Lychak stated that he was frightened of Officer Prabhu and he began hyperventilating. While escorting Lychak to the phone room, Prabhu grabbed Lychak and pulled him with enough force that Lychak fell to the ground. Lychak told investigating officers that he hit his head on the wall and suffered bruising to his hip and back along with soreness to his neck and shoulder. Prabhu’s use of force was captured on police station closed-circuit cameras. Lychak used the phone to call 911, stating that he was having a panic attack and the police were not helping him. After Lychak made the phone call, Prabhu returned him to the holding cell. Lychak told the officer he was going to try to kill himself and that he had attempted suicide in the past. Prabhu responded with “go ahead”. In the disciplinary hearing that followed this incident, Prabhu admitted to the above statement and the use of excessive force. "I basically relive it every day," Lychak told CBC News. "It goes through my head every day and it's really hard to block it out…I…

incident ID: 221187
incident description: Deron Kuski, a lawyer from Regina, was arrested on August 4, 2002, by Edmonton Police Service officers Jason Forbes and Carlos Cardoso after jaywalking. Kuski and two companions crossed a street with no visible traffic. After reaching the other side of the street, officers Forbes and Cardoso approached Kuski and his companions. Forbes asked Kuski for identification, which Kuski did not provide. Forbes asked Kuski if he could search him, to which Kuski replied “no, what for”. Without warning, Forbes placed Kuski in handcuffs and kneed him on the top of the knee, causing Kuski’s leg to buckle. Forbes proceeded to search Kuski and remove his identification and personal belongings from Kuski’s pockets. Kuski did not resist while being handcuffed but was shocked with the amount of aggression that the officers used against him. “Whenever I would hear about a complaint like this against a police officer or someone in authority, you hold some kind of skepticism toward it” Kuski said in a CBC article (linked below). “You think the guy must have done something, he must have lipped them off or got physical with them or something. And the fact this incident was not like that, yet they maintain they were within their rights of doing what they did, is so disturbing to me”. Forbes told Kuski that he would be taken to the police station. Kuski was read his rights, but he asserts that he was not told what he was being arrested for. Kuski was placed in a police cruiser and detained in a cell at the Old Strathcona Police station for approximately one hour before being released around 2:30 am. Kuski was locked out of the police station while only wearing a golf shirt and pants in 0 °C. After approximately 10 minutes outside of the station, Kuski knocked on the doors and asked to wait inside the station until his taxi arrived. The police officer answering the door refused Kuski re-entry, despite his complains about the cold. The taxi still had not shown up after an hour waiting outside,…

incident title: 22-year-old on crutches assaulted by off duty police officer
incident ID: 221184
incident description: On December 18th, 2005 early in the morning, the victim was hailing a cab with his crutch. He had recently undergone knee surgery. Officer Wasylyshen and some colleagues were off-duty and drinking, and had just gotten out of a cab. Wasylyshen noticed the individual and started to verbally attack him (calling him a "cripple"). In return the victim yelled back. Wasylyshen approached the victim and struck him with a closed fist in the left ear. Wasylyshen's friends held him back after this. The victim then called two friends, who arrived shortly after. The group of three crossed the street. Wasylyshen followed them, there was a violent exchange between Wasylyshen and the victim's two friends, in which the friends pinned the police officer to the ground. At this point two loss prevention officers from a 7-11 decided to get involved. While they were separating the group, Wasylyshen uttered threats to the officers and struck one of them.

incident title: Victim assaulted while detained and then released in river valley
incident ID: 221183
incident description: The victim, at the time unhoused and dealing with substance use issues, was asked to leave a 7-11 store. Police intervened while he was sleeping in the store, made physical contact to wake him up and asked him to leave. He returned to the store and was asked to leave again as he would be charged with public intoxication and trespass. The victim and the police travelled about three blocks before the incident continued. The victim was threatened with arrest for not identifying himself. While being handcuffed, Cst. O'Mara took the victim to the ground, punching him twice in the head, once while already handcuffed. Witnesses decribed the force as being excessive, recalling that the victim's head hit the pavement hard, causing a cut and substantial bleeding, with blood left on the sidewalk. The police then loaded the victim in the car and drove him south of the river to a different neighbourhood before releasing him. The police disabled the computer system that controlled GPS tracking before driving the victim, and only filed a report of a "Street Check".

incident title: Youth unlawfully searched during traffic stop, then strip searched at police station.
incident ID: 221182
incident description: A 15 year old youth was driving their mother's car in North-East Edmonton on the 28th of December, 2014. Police initiated a traffic stop that a judge ruled was arbitrary. Their claim after the fact was that they could smell raw marijuana from the car and that there appeared to be a man driving when it was licensed to a woman. The police initiated an arrest of the youth, failed to read them their rights, and asked questions inviting the youth to incriminate themself. After unlawfully collecting evidence from a duffel bag in the car, the police placed the youth under arrest for "drug trafficking" and at this point read them their rights. Police then transported the youth back to the police station where they were strip searched, with the youth being completely exposed briefly, which is against the guidelines. The ruling states that "there was a pattern of Charter breaches that displayed a relentless search for evidence, on a hunch, with a total deliberate or reckless disregard for the Charter rights of the Young Person".

incident ID: 221099
incident description: Carter was the subject of an LERB hearing in 2010 regarding his creation and dissemination of a racist and otherwise offensive email known as "Mr. Socko's Ten Principles of Downtown Policing" that was forwarded to a number of Edmonton Police officers in 2002 and other years. Carter and another officer, Radmanovich, were issued official warnings on their records. The email read as follows: "ÒMr SOCKOÕS Ten Principles of Downtown Policing. (Alternatively known as MR SOCKOÕS ÒDowntown WayÓ) 1) All the best ÒInvestigationsÓ end in a brawl. 2) The key to a successful partnership is to have crime on one another. 3) An ÒAboriginalÓ is actually just an Indian. 4) D58 is more than just transportation and should always be referred to as the ÒMobile Native Friendship Centre.Ó 5) Operating the D58 is the most noble job in the department. Ensure all subjects you deal with in the M.N.F.C. address you as ÒAmbassador.Ó 6) The Gaming and Liquor Act is the supreme document which governs us all. 7) Every arrest should be followed by a vague, yet wordy report. 8) In order to color an otherwise boring police report, repeatedly use words like ÒTrannyÓ, ÒWhoreÓ, and ÒAss-FuckedÓ, even if they have (sic) nothing to do with the investigation. 9) PCU is for stuff you already have. 10) Tom ENGEL is SATAN.Ó"

incident description: Yakabuski faced sexual assault charges in 1994 for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in 1992 while on duty. He was relegated to desk duty. The charges were later withdrawn. In 2011, the EPS contacted the former sex worker regarding similar sexual allegations made against Yakabuski by other women. In 2016, a former sex worker sued Yakabuski for the alleged sexual assault. The application to dismiss the claim was then adjourned to see if Bill 2, ÒAn Act to Remove Barriers for Survivors of Sexual and Domestic ViolenceÓ, would pass and remove any limitation for claims relating to sexual assault. Despite all of the previous press coverage of Yakabuski's alleged assaults, he was awarded a Police Exemplary Service Medal by Governor General Micha‘lle Jean in 2009.

incident title: Complaint against two officers for excessive force on married couple dismissed by Chief without any disciplinary hearing
incident ID: 221036
incident description: Tagg and another officer of the EPS received a complaint alleging excessive force in the 2006 arrest of a man and his wife. The complaint was dismissed by the Chief of the EPS without a disciplinary hearing. This decision was successfully appealed to the LERB in 2010, which directed the Chief to further investigate the complaint. In 2013, the Chief dismissed the complaint, one of the reasons being insufficient evidence to establish the facts necessary to obtain a conviction. This decision was appealed to the LERB in 2014, which dismissed the appeal relating to the decision regarding Tagg. The LERB found that TaggÕs conduct was not unreasonable in the circumstances. Tagg was also sued in civil court for the allegations.

incident description: In 2007, Zalaski was found to have accosted an individual with no lawful authority to arrest him, and used an excessive amount of force after tasering the man. Zalaski was found convicted of assault with a weapon. Zalaski made comments on a CHED radio show in 2010 about sexual assault, that he later apologized for. Zalaski said, "If you are going to go out drinking and you're are going to get involved in that environment where you know there are a lot of predators, you know there's a lot of people out there, you are dressing in a certain manners and dancing a certain ways, you are creating opportunity shall I say... there is consequences, not saying anyone deserves to be victimized, but the fact is you have to mitigate how you become a victim." A number of EPS officers were accused of malicious prosecution and unlawful assault following an on-duty incident in 1998, and were sued in 2008 in relation to the incident, but the plaintiff's action was dismissed. The officers were also subject to review before the Law Enforcement Review Board.

incident ID: 221000
incident description: Dzioba was criminally charged with Assault during an on-duty incident occurring in 2002, and was acquitted in 2004. Three EPS officers were sued in civil court regarding allegations of Charter Rights Infringement and other counts of misconduct during an on-duty incident occurring in 2005. Hudec unlawfully tasered a 15 year old accused of breaking and entering, following a strip search in 2006. While the Court held that the arrest and strip search were justified, the Court held that Hudec’s actions were a “shocking abuse of police powers”, and that his use of the taser violated the Accused's s7 right to security of person and s12 right against cruel and unusual punishment. The Court deemed the use of the taser "police misconduct so egregious... that going forward with prosecution would be offensive." A stay of prosecution was granted. In a statement of claim filed in 2008, Hudec and two other officers were alleged to have engaged in a vicious assault, including the use of a taser, upon a plaintiff after the plaintiff was ordered to exit a vehicle at gunpoint. The Plaintiff also alleged that he was unlawfully detained, searched, and charged with offences, which were later withdrawn. Dzioba retired and turned in his badge prior to a 2012 disciplinary hearing regarding allegations of unlawful or unnecessary exercise of authority and deceit occuring during an incident in 2009. In a 2011 criminal case, Hudec was found to have breached the Accused's Charter Rights under s10(b) by failing to provide the Accused with information about duty counsel and legal aid systems, as well as failure to issue a Prosper warning. In the same 2008 incident, Hudec was also found to have breached the Accused's s9 rights by detaining him arbitrarily and arresting him unlawfully.

incident ID: 221190
incident description: During a wellness check initiated by the victim's father, Arlene Sams was wrongfully arrested and charged after Constable David Olsson claimed that Sams operated a motorized vehicle while intoxicated. In a 2016 hearing, Constable Olsson plead guilty to neglect of duty and admitted that he had not seen Sams operate the vehicle, nor had he investigated the claims that the victim did not have access to the vehicle keys. Olsson was given a demotion and an 80-hour suspension without pay. At the request of the victim, Olsson will participate in a reconciliation process through a healing circle with Sams. Sams is trying to heal from the stigma of being wrongfully accused.

incident title: ASIRT investigating a fatal shooting of a man by EPS
incident date: 2022-03-12
incident description: Around 11:15pm on 03/12/2022 , EPS was called to Pleasantview, near 109th Street and 53rd Avenue, regarding a man who had 24 outstanding provincial warrants, as well as a Canada-wide warrant. The EPS Tactical team was called for the arrest. The man was surveilled in a moving vehicle with 2 female passengers and once they arrived at a building near 105 St and 38 Ave and the women were out of the car, the tactical team went in. A confrontation occurred and shots were fired, it is unclear how many officers fired. Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) was on the scene and attended to him but the man died from his injuries. The name has not been released. ASIRT is now investigating the shooting. The archive team notes that the ASIRT report shows a photo of a 'weapon' found inside the victim's vehicle (see media attachment). Unless it has been modified, this is a paintball gun.

incident title: Police shoot, kill man during a traffic stop after impaired driving complaints
incident date: 2017-03-09
incident description: At 1 PM on March 9, 2017, Edmonton Police received two 911 calls about an erratic driver. One of the callers followed the offending vehicle they had called about-a blue van- off the Whitemud into a cul-de-sac at Hollands Landing where it came to a halt. By 1:30 Constable Ian Wood-a veteran of six years - was dispatched to the neighbourhood and upon arrival pulled his car in front of a blue Pontiac van and demanded the driver stay in his vehicle. The driver- fifty-five-year-old Vitaly Savin- instead exited the van and according to Wood was swaying back and forth and insisted that he was not drunk after Wood stated that he was (a later test found that his blood-alcohol content was three and a half times the legal limit). Wood then grabbed Savin’s left arm intending to arrest him for impaired driving, but withdrew, stood back, and radioed for other officers to respond when he saw Savin rummaging for something in the van with his right. Wood then ordered Savin to show his hands but instead Savin drew a hunting knife from his car and charged Wood who turned, ran several meters down the icy road, slipped and fell on his back. According to Wood, he shouted at the man to drop his knife, but Savin attempted to stab him. Wood was able to kick Savin away far enough for the constable to draw and shoot his pistol four times, killing the man. Aman Jaggi, the only known witness heard “muttering,” then shouting and then four shots being fired “seconds” afterward. He went outside to talk to Wood who told him that he had pulled Savin over, that he came at him with a hunting life, slipped and “had to shoot him.” Jaggi then filmed other officers who had then arrived who were attempting to resuscitate Savin. A subsequent ASIRT investigation determined Cst. Wood's actions were justified. Savin was a dual citizen of Russia and Canada, and the Russian consulate requested ASIRT investigate whether "Russian racism" was a factor in the shooting. The ASIRT investigation concluded that Savin's …

incident title: EPS officer on probation after assaulting a man and leaving him in the river valley
incident date: 2017-12-11
incident description: On December 11, 2017, Const. Matthew O’Mara and his partner ordered Craig Jephtas-Crail to leave the Jasper Avenue and 104 Street 7-Eleven where he had been sleeping to stay warm. Once Jephtas-Crail was down on the sidewalk outside, O'Mara delivered two punches to his head, one of them was after he was already in handcuffs. After the arrest for trespassing and public intoxication, the two officers put Craig Jephtas-Crail into the police car, drove him to the river valley and left him there. The vehicle’s GPS system was switched off during the drive. In a victim impact statement, Jephtas-Crail said: “as a person with a disability and already facing barriers, it left me feeling as though I was worth next to nothing.” A report from a psychologist states that at the time of the arrest O’Mara was suffering from “florid PTSD symptoms” related to his military service in Afghanistan. Because of his prior experience, O'Mara was let into the EPS through the experienced officer training program, an accelerated, eight-week training course. Other officers typically undergo 27 weeks of training. He had no prior patrol experience before being assigned downtown. During the sentencing, his mental state was taken into account as the court was considering imprisonment. Provincial court Judge D’Arcy DePoe sentenced Const. Matthew O’Mara to 18 months probation for his assault of Craig Jephtas-Crail, stating that during the arrest officer O’Mara failed to follow at least seven EPS policies for dealing with injured arrestees, including assessing Jephtas-Crail for injuries, announcing the use of force over the radio and completing a written report about the arrest. O’Mara has been relieved from duty without pay and will be required to report to a probation officer, perform 100 hours of community service and attend counselling.

incident title: Unarmed man shot and injured by police
incident date: 2017-03-30
incident description: Between March 25th to 27th, 2017, Edmonton Police received a tip that Bradley Ladouceur, 35, was armed and “willing to use them against police officers.” At this point Ladouceur was on release for gun related charges with officers surveilling Ladouceur’s home observing him breaching his bail conditions on the 27th, however the police furthermore stated that there was a warrant out for his arrest, but no such warrant existed at the time. On the 28th these officers did a curfew check on his home but found that he was not there at the time. Two days later Ladouceur called the police telling them that he was willing to surrender after being informed that he was violating his bail and had a warrant against him. The police then told him that they would call him back and did so by 6 PM to which Ladouceur told the police that he wanted a lawyer and apparently became angry and hung up. He was then observed leaving his home carrying a black bag into his Chevy Impala and avoided the police by doing an illegal U-turn and ran a red light. The police patrolled the area and found the car, abandoned. At around 6:20 PM a plain clothes officer and member of the team surveilling Ladouceur found him walking at 128 Avenue and 52 Street, with a second officer arriving immediately after. The surveillance officer (reported to be in the police for four years) confronted Ladouceur and told him that he was under arrest. Ladouceur was unarmed, but according to the police reached into his pocket and took out his cellphone which the officer perceived as a gun and shot at Ladouceur, striking and injuring him. Ladouceur was transferred to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for his injuries with ASIRT opening up an investigation that day. Although he remained under 24/7 police guard, no charges were laid against him until April 28 2017, when several 2016 allegations were made against him. On March 19, 2020 ASIRT deemed the shooting justified.

incident title: Man dies after being tasered by police
incident date: 2013-10-24
incident description: On Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 11:09 p.m., members of the Edmonton Police Service came upon an altercation involving a man and a woman in the area of 106A Avenue and 96 Street in Edmonton. The officers grappled with the man, punching, kicking and kneeing him, and trying to get him in a choke hold. One officer pressed a conducted energy weapon against his lower right abdomen and discharged it for five seconds. He fell to the ground but broke off the weapon's probes and stood up. He tried to walk away towards the Mustard Seed Church. The same officer reloaded and fired again, hitting him in the back with a blast that continued for 28 seconds, until after the officers had got the man into handcuffs on the ground. Lying on his stomach, with his hands cuffed behind him, he continued to struggle. More police officers arrived. Emergency Medical Services was called to help removing the Taser darts from him. Face-down on the ground, he was turned slightly so he could breathe more easily. But his eyes began to flutter, he gasped and aspirated fluid. His breathing became rapid and shallow. He was then repositioned so that he was lying on his back, with his hands handcuffed in front of him. At that point he appeared to stop breathing all together. He was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he was declared brain dead and pronounced dead a week after the altercation with the police on October 30, with cause of death described as "Hypoxic/Ischemic Encephalopathy by the antecedent cause of excited delirium syndrome due to the underlying cause of methamphetamine toxicity" (Public Fatality Inquiry, 2016). A subsequent ASIRT investigation declined to recommend charges and found the officers' actions justified. A Public Fatality Inquiry recommended that "procedures for identifying and dealing with individuals exhibiting symptoms of excited delirium be set out in policies and procedures dealing with the police interaction with all individuals and not limited to those policies …

incident date: 2013-05-03
incident description: Edmonton Police Service members responded to a 911 call concerning a disoriented, bleeding male who was in possession of a knife outside the Kingsway Garden Mall. Five or six police officers surrounded the man, who refused to obey their repeated orders to put down the knife and lie down on the ground. When the man refused to obey these orders and attempted to evade the police, he was pepper-sprayed several times. However, the witness says the man was not deterred by the spray and began charging at police. At this point, the witness said the police used a taser to try stop the man and this also did not work to stop him. It was at this point that one of the officers shot the man and he went down to the ground. The man was treated in hospital. An ASIRT investigation concluded with no criminal charges for the officers involved. The injured man faced several charges resulting from the incident, the outcome of which the Archive team was unable to locate.

incident title: Man killed by gunfire during struggle with police
incident date: 2009-05-10
incident description: On May 10, 2009, two police officers confronted Shawn Price and attempted to arrest him for an armed robbery that had occurred minutes before. Price pulled an object from his pocket and threw it on the ground - the object was a crack pipe, which according to some reports the police may have believed was a weapon, causing them to escalate and try to take Price into custody. Price resisted the officers' attempts to handcuff him, and as he wrestled with Constable Horchuk, the other officer Constable Gowin struck him with her baton several times. Price pulled at various elements of Cst Horchuk's uniform before placing his hand on the officer's holstered service pistol. Cst Horchuk yelled to Cst Gowin that Price was "going for my gun". Cst Gowin first shot Price in the back, and when the altercation continued, she shot him again in the chest. As Price and Cst Horchuk continued to struggle on the ground, she placed her foot on Price's head and prepared to fire again, at which time he stopped struggling. (Source: Public Fatality Inquiry). Price's girlfriend, who was a witness to the event, told media that police shot Price when he was already "under control" and on the ground, although another witness claimed Price was standing when he was shot. He was treated on the scene by emergency medical services personnel and taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The incident was investigated by ASIRT and was the subject of a Public Fatality Inquiry, both of which found the officers acted appropriately in the situation.

alt text: Recording the Police: Your Rights when Recording Police in Canada As long as you aren't interfering with a uniformed police officer's duties, it is legal to film or photograph police If you're told to stop, ask if you are being detained - if not, you have the right to continue recording Officers cannot take or look through your phone unless you are being arrested and they have a warrant or reasonable grounds to do so Having a passcode on mobile devices can reduce unlawful searches Tips for filming police violence: Shoot steadily & continuously in landscape mode Maintain at least 2m distance if possible Capture details like faces, badges, & license plates of police involved Capture details of time and place, like street signs Before posting/sharing, crop or blur out faces to protect victims or protestors Consider your own and victim safety, and whether filming might escalate a situation

incident description: On the twenty-seventh of December 2015 just beforeat 3:52 AM a drunk fifty year old man called 911 informing the dispatcher that he was going to kill himself with a gun as well as that he wanted to commit suicide by cop. At 4:05 another man in the house told the dispatcher that the man had been drinking and that he only had a pellet rifle. Two police officers arrived shortly afterwards at the house at 149 Street near 85 Avenue in an unmarked police car with their sirens and lights blaring and the man walked outside pellet rifle in hand, threatening to shoot them. Taking cover behind their vehicle the two officers drew their weapons and demanded the man drop the gun or they would fire upon him. He disregarded their command and continued shouting at, and walking towards them whereupon the officers shot twice and hit the man in the leg a single time. The whole incident lasted about a minute. He was then taken to the hospital where he was treated for his wound.

incident title: Multiple Edmonton Police shoot, kill man after traffic stop for outstanding warrants
incident date: 2012-12-26
incident description: On the twenty-sixth of December 2018 at 2:00 PM Buck Evans, his girlfriend Melissa Dumais and a friend were stopped in their truck by multiple police officers in at least four vehicles. Thirty-four year old Evans was wanted in connection with an ongoing investigation and had several warrants against him for other alleged crimes. Evans had been barred from owning a firearm since 2018 but was believed to be armed by the police and indeed was traveling with a SKS semi-automatic rifle at the time. After being stopped, the trio were ordered to exit the vehicle with Dumais and the other passenger complying but Evans in the back refusing. According to ASIRT after Evans refused to comply, he fired his weapon but according to Dumais Evans was not holding his rifle when she left with it being on the truck’s floor instead. Video filmed by a witness in a nearby apartment does not confirm if he did use his rifle. While blurry and taken from a distance, it shows about four police officers facing the truck demanding Evans exit it. One officer fires a shotgun and eight seconds later, after further demands for Evans to exit unleash a volley of gunfire. There is then a pause with further shots being fired with a total of about thirty being fired. Several bullets hit the neighbouring apartment buildings with at least one passing through into a bedroom. It is unclear whether Evans fired his weapon during this time and he was pronounced dead at the hospital. Evans' girlfriend believed the police response constituted use of excessive force. An ASIRT investigation is ongoing.

incident title: Racist images posted in canine unit locker room
incident date: 2020-07-20
incident description: A pair of images were posted in the canine unit locker room containing racist caricatures of Black and Indigenous people. One shows what appears to be a minstrel-show-style Zulu warrior in front of a cutout of a police dog, below the words “Buddy’s First Get em! Get em!” Another image features the cover of the children’s book The Indian in the Cupboard, with the titular character saying “Beny will never find me in here!!” After an investigation by EPS' Professional Standards Branch, the officers involved were directed to undergo a 'restorative justice' process with members of Edmonton's Black and Indigenous communities, the details of which are unspecified in media reporting.
description type: Non-eyewitness, based on documentation
incident city: Edmonton
type of abuse: Discriminatory language
law enforcement authority involved: Edmonton Police Service
complaint filed: Edmonton police Professional Standards Branch
complaint resolution: “Edmonton police officers who posted racist images in the canine unit locker room will undergo a “restorative justice” process with members of Edmonton’s Black and Indigenous communities.” Members of affected communities requested meetings with Police Chief Dale McFee about the incidents but he was 'unavailable' (Edmonton Journal, August 28, 2020).

incident title: Edmonton Police beat Indigenous man after being stopped because he had no bell on his bike
incident date: 2019-08-27
incident description: On August 27, 2019, EPS Constable Curtis McCargar stopped Elliot McLeod -an Indigenous man- either giving no reason as to why (according to McLeod) or because he did not have a bell on his bicycle (according to McCargar). McLeod gave a false name to the officer and either immediately rode off or did so as McCargar entered the name in his cruiser’s computer. McCargar then pursued McLeod in his vehicle while radioing for assistance. After catching up, McCargar tackled McLeod and proceeded to punch him in the back of the head several times. By this point Constable Michael Partington had arrived by vehicle and immediately delivered a diving knee strike between McLeod's shoulder blades causing McLeod to scream in pain telling the officers to stop. At no point during this, according to McLeod, eyewitness testimony, and video evidence was he resisting. The two officers then handcuff McLeod and drag him into a police cruiser. McLeod was charged with four offences, including resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. Police were sent a video of the incident filmed by a bystander, but withheld it from prosecutors for four months following the incident. When the video was disclosed, the charges against McLeod were stayed, and Constable Partington charged and convicted for assault. Cst. Partington was relieved from duty without pay on the day of the arrest, a decision which he appealed for judicial review by the Court of Queen's Bench. His application was dismissed by a judge in 2021.

incident title: Edmonton Police sued after officer allegedly kicks Indigenous youth in the head
incident date: 2020-12-09
incident description: At about 4:15 a.m. officers responded to a trouble not known call at a home in the area of 62 Avenue and 178 Street with reports that a fight involving a weapon was taking place inside. During the search, police asked Pacey Dumas and his brother Blair, who is a year older, to step outside. Both complied. Blair was placed in handcuffs, while Pacey was ordered laid face down on the sidewalk with his hands out. “Suddenly and without warning (Todd; the officer) moved swiftly to Pacey and while in motion kicked Pacey in the right side of his head with such force Pacey was immediately rendered unconscious and bleeding,” After the alleged assault, Pacey was “dragged” by two unknown officers to a spot two houses away. It claims none of the officers who attended the scene gave Pacey medical attention.

incident title: Officers kill woman wielding toy gun
incident date: 2010-01-16
incident description: Around 2pm on January 16, 2010, 911 dispatch received a call from Bernadette Auger (48) over a dispute she was having with her adult sons, requesting police presence, but partway into the call Ms. Auger's common-law partner, George Coward, told the dispatcher that Ms. Auger was drunk, and not to send officers, then hung up the phone. Dispatch called the number back and informed Mr. Coward that police were en route.

Ms. Auger pointed the "gun" at the officers and followed them down the stairs and outside as they retreated from the building, but went back inside after the officers crouched behind a vehicle to call for assistance. While inside, Ms. Auger called 911 again, and had a conversation with the operator in which she asked to speak to the police outside, apologized, and indicated she had a gun. She then went back outside, where there were now at least 5 police officers including a Dog Master with a police dog. When she came outside, the Dog Master Detective Kassian determined she was not a serious threat and stood from cover to release the dog. Ms. Auger saw him stand up and raised the "gun" in his direction. While the officers called for Ms. Auger to drop the gun, the police dog "got confused" (per the provincial fatality inquiry) and bit another police officer on the leg. In the Fatality Inquiry, the possible reasons given for the dog's confusion were that Ms. Auger was not moving, which is not the scenario police dogs are trained for, and that Ms. Auger was wearing a white t-shirt against the backdrop of snow, so the dog was unable to focus on her. Immediately after Ms. Auger raised the "gun", Detective Kassian raised his own service weapon and shot her in the head. Another officer stationed a…

incident date: 2022-02-23
incident description: Police were called to an armed robbery in the area of 1133 st and 104 ave at approximately 6:25pm. The 36-year-old man fled the liquor store and was found near 105 st and 107 ave at approximately 7:01pm. A confrontation occurred and police discharged their firearms, fatally wounding the man who was declared dead on the scene. A 59-year-old man in the basement suite behind the first victim was also hit by police fire, and was located some time after the shooting. Emergency first aid was provided and he was rushed to hospital by paramedics but died from his injuries. Later investigation of the scene determined that the 36-year-old victim had an imitation firearm. An ASIRT investigation has been opened, and the officers involved taken off active duty. The Archive team will update as this case progresses.

incident date: 2018
incident description: Sometime between July 30 and Sept 2, 2018, an Edmonton woman in a relationship with an RCMP officer attempted to end the relationship and asked him to leave her home. The officer then committed what ASIRT described as a "serious sexual assault". ASIRT was directed to investigate the incident in February 2020, and on January 22, 2021, Cpl. Kire Kondoski was charged with one count of sexual assault. The Crown discontinued prosecuting the case on September 24, 2021, with an Alberta Crown Prosecution Services spokesperson telling the Edmonton Journal “Upon further review, Calgary Prosecutions concluded that the evidence respecting the sexual assault charge against Kondoski did not meet the standard of reasonable likelihood of conviction and therefore the charge was withdrawn.”

incident title: Man fatally shot by police during attempted robbery
incident date: 2012-12-11
incident description: Mike Bronaugh, also known as Mike Grisch, was fatally shot by two Edmonton Police Service officers responding to an armed robbery in progress call at the Canadian Western Bank at South Edmonton Common on December 11, 2012. Police were called around 2 p.m. to the Canadian Western Bank located at 21st Avenue and 99th Street where they found a man in his mid-twenties with a handgun. According to the evidence presented in the subsequent fatality inquiry, Mr. Bronaugh had made an appointment at the branch, but after sitting down with an employee, he demanded cash, then reached into his coat and "told her that she had twenty-eight seconds to produce the money, that he had a gun and would start shooting someone" (2016 Public Fatality Inquiry). The employee told Mr. Bronaugh it would take time to get the money and left to go to the bank's vault. The employee informed her coworkers and manager of the situation, and a supervisor placed a call to 911. When EPS arrived on scene, Mr. Bronaugh walked towards the bank entrance where two officers had entered with weapons drawn. According to an eyewitness and bank employees, Mr. Bronaugh drew a revolver only after the police entered the building. In the summary of evidence received by the fatality inquiry, one eyewitness (another customer in the bank) and the bank employees did not describe whether Mr. Bronaugh raised the gun; one responding police officer, Cst. McCracken, described Mr. Bronaugh as raising his gun toward the other customer and bank employees, while the other officer, A/Sgt Zielie, described Mr. Bronaugh bringing the gun up and appearing to point it at his own head, then turning to face the other people in the bank. Both officers described shouting at Mr. Bronaugh to drop the weapon, then firing their own guns - Cst. McCracken four shots from a rifle and A/Sgt Zielie two from a pistol, all of which struck Mr. Bronaugh. Mr. Bronaugh was taken to hospital and treated for his injuries, but died the following day with a …

incident title: EPS officer suspended without pay for releasing police dog on teenage girl
incident date: 2017-05-14
incident description: An Edmonton police officer has been suspended without pay for allowing a police dog to bite a 16-year-old girl during a wrongful arrest. Const. Antonio Costa was given a 50-hour suspension and ordered to take remedial training for the May 2017 arrest, which left the youth with serious injuries to her arm. Costa was a member of the Edmonton police canine unit at the time of the arrest. According to a disciplinary decision released Wednesday, he was asked to assist with an early morning assault call on May 14, 2017, during which two men allegedly entered a house near 112 Avenue and 91 Street and sprayed bear spray at the occupants. The two men — who were described as wearing red hats and red running shoes — escaped on BMX bikes. Costa and his police dog arrived in the area and saw several people on bikes headed eastward. The disciplinary decision does not specify which dog Costa was partnered with that night, though the EPS website says he is the handler for PSD Amok, a Belgian Malinois. After spotting the cyclists, Costa saw a group on foot near 114 Avenue and 91 Street and pulled up beside them. Though the group did not have bicycles, Costa told them they were under “investigative detention.” After hearing this, the group scattered, and Costa released his police dog. The dog chased the 16-year-old girl — identified in the decision as “BB” — and bit her on the right forearm. She was taken to the Stollery Children’s Hospital, where she was treated for puncture wounds. Costa was initially charged with eight counts of misconduct under the Police Act, including neglect of duty and insubordination. He pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful or necessary use of authority. The defence and prosecution agreed to a 50-hour suspension without pay, which Costa will serve in five-hour increments. Fred Kamins, the retired RCMP superintendent who presided over the hearing, formally imposed the sentence last month. Costa must also undergo remedial training on arrest powers and inve…

incident title: Man shot during police confrontation following hit-and-run
incident date: 2018-08-18
incident description: Sterling Ross Cardinal was shot by police during an altercation in Northeast Edmonton. Cardinal was driving a stolen vehicle and was intercepted by police after being involved in a hit-and-run. According to ASIRT (the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team), two police officers approached the vehicle in the area of 66 Street and 123 Avenue and ordered Cardinal and the passenger to come out with their hands up. The passenger exited the vehicle and surrendered, but Cardinal stayed in the vehicle. The passenger later stated that Cardinal had a rifle in his lap. According to the ASIRT report, “This officer yelled ‘Gun, get back’ at the other officer, and commanded the man to drop the weapon. The man verbally refused, stating that he would not drop the gun, that officers would have to shoot him, and that he would shoot police,” (Edmonton Journal, June 5, 2020) before Cardinal fired one shot towards an officer. Police fired multiple shots in response, hitting Cardinal and killing him at the scene. Both Cardinal and his passenger were wanted on Canada-wide warrants for statutory release violations. A toxicology report from an autopsy showed he had alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana in his system. Cardinal was an Indigenous man from Calling Lake and a father of three, including a two-month-old baby boy.

incident title: Man shot by police during arrest attempt
incident date: 2017-09-09
incident description: Matt Dumas was shot by Edmonton Police Service officers when trying to flee during an arrest attempt at Westmount Mall. Police attempted to box in Dumas, who was wanted on outstanding warrants related to drug trafficking, after tailing his vehicle to a parking lot at Westmount Mall. Three unmarked vehicles surrounded Dumas' parked car, which also had two female passengers, and turned on their emergency lights. Officers threw two flash-bang grenades towards the vehicle, and instructed the passengers to exit the vehicle with their hands up. Per the ASIRT report, all three individuals held up their hands for several seconds but did not exit the vehicle, before Dumas rammed the police vehicles to the rear and then the front of his car. Officers then threw 2 canisters of CS gas (tear gas) into the vehicle through the passenger window, and again pinned Dumas' car in place with their vehicles. As the officers began to attempt to remove the passengers, Dumas drew a handgun from a bag around his neck. Per the ASIRT report, one officer repeatedly told Dumas "don't do it", and another officer fired an ARWEN baton round (a "less-than-lethal" crowd control device that fires plastic rounds) that struck Dumas. Dumas then pointed his gun at one of the officers, at which point three officers opened fire on him. According to the ASIRT report (2020), the evidence is "unequivocal" that Dumas fired two rounds, which lodged in the dashboard of his vehicle; eyewitness reports suggest the police fired approximately 13 rounds. Dumas was struck multiple times and declared dead on the scene by a paramedic who accompanied the tactical response team. The two women in the car and officers were not injured. The coroner's report found traces of methamphetamine in his system, which the Executive Director of ASIRT, Susan Hughson, stated likely contributed to his "irrational decision" to attempt to flee and fire on the officers (Edmonton Journal, January 27, 2020). The ASIRT investigation concluded t…

incident title: String of disciplinary hearings, charges and lawsuits follow 2010 EPS beating of 29-year-old man
incident date: 2010-02-11
incident description: In January of 2010, several police officers arrived at the home of Kazimierz Kozina's parents to search for drugs, as they suspected Kozina of drug trafficking. According to Kozina, several officers including Constable Redlick told him they wanted to "beat the shit" out of him. In February 2010, Constables Jack Redlick, Jason Kemp, Craig Offin and Phil Leeman arranged a 'buy and bust' from Kozina.

I don't want to punch him in the back of the head because it will break my hand." Instead, Redlick hit Kozina on the back of the head with an open palm. Const. Offin [another undercover officer] also entered the fray. "This is happening fairly quickly," he had testified earlier. "You just rely on your training to do what is necessary." Offin was also charged, but the charge against him was dropped when he resigned from the police service. He testified Wednesday as a witness. Offin said he delivered two strikes to Kozina's back in an attempt to control him. Kemp said he "delivered five or six short kind of rabbit jabs to his mid-section." While Kozina continued to flail on the ground, more officers ran to assist. In the confusion, Ke…

incident title: Suspect violently assaulted during arrest near Alberta Legislature
incident date: 2019-06-11
incident description: A violent arrest caught on camera in 2019 led to an assault charge being laid against EPS officer Dylan Awid. Police officers gave chase to a truck they identified as stolen on the evening of June 11, 2019, with an EPS helicopter tracking the vehicle to an apartment building parking lot near the Alberta Legislature building. Police vehicles converged on the scene and boxed the truck in after it rammed vehicles to the rear and front in an attempt to escape. When the truck came to a halt, one officer exited the passenger side of the nearest police SUV and approached the car. As the driver, Kyle Parkhurst, opened the door and climbed out of the vehicle, the officer kicked the door against him, then struck him in the head with his gun. Parkhurst then fell to the ground, at which point he was kicked and punched multiple times; police also confirmed that he was Tasered twice during the arrest. One officer, later identified as Constable Dylan Awid, kicked Parkhurst multiple times before pulling him to his feet while handcuffed and slamming his head into a brick wall. He struck Parkhurst in the head with his elbow, then while walking him towards the police cruiser, violently shoved him up against it. Security camera footage of the incident shows officers appearing to re-enact the violence of the arrest after Parkhurst has been placed in custody. Experts interviewed by CBC about the footage indicated that an officer who appeared to deliberately walk away from the scene once the assault began appeared to be a sergeant; none of the many officers at the scene appear to attempt to intervene. Parkhurst's lawyer claims that after being taken into custody, his requests to see a doctor were denied and his injuries were never photographed, and asserts that his blood-soaked shirt was covered with a sweater when his mug shot photo was taken. EPS claims that Parkhurst was assessed by a parademic at the police station and his injuries were deemed minor. He stated that his mouth filled wi…

incident title: Two men injured by police in violent mistaken identity arrest at Circle K convenience store
incident date: 2020-05-14
incident description: A complaint of police brutality and misconduct has been filed against city officers by a man who says his wrongful arrest felt more like a kidnapping. In a formal complaint to the Edmonton Police Service’s Professional Standards Branch, Jamie-Dean Sauter recounts being arrested in a Circle K at 116 Street and 104 Avenue on May 14 (2020) around 8:15 p.m. By Sauter’s account, he was approached by six EPS members, told he was under arrest for stealing a vehicle, and – as he was offering to show them his ID, license, registration and insurance – slammed to the ground. “I was still calm enough at the point, if I just present my driver’s license, my insurance, my registration, this will clearly be cleared up,” he remembers thinking. But on the ground, Sauter says he was punched, had the boot of one officer wiped across his face, effectively blindfolded by a covering over his face, and taken to a station whose location he would not learn until later. “It was one of the most dehumanizing, delegitimatizing things I’ve experienced because I felt it was done to let me know I’m dirt beneath your boot.” Sauter wrote to the EPS Professional Standards Branch on May 20, “This all to me did not appear to be an arrest but rather a kidnapping.” The 37-year-old says he manages several health conditions, and worried the confrontation would end in a heart attack or suffocation. “It was reckless, thoughtless, and degrading… How quickly they escalated to use violence was baffling and bewildering to me, especially given I was willing to cooperate, engage, and comply with the six officers,” his complaint reads. Sauter identifies as being of Black/Indigenous/Latin/European/East Asian descent. In the letter, he also writes he believes his ethnicity was a “determining factor in how this arrest was conducted” and recalls being mocked for his assumed sexuality. Twenty-four-year-old Joshua Powell was at the Circle K’s check-out counter when he says “about six cops bust through the door and just se…
