The City of Edmonton is using $11M from the police budget to reimagine community safety with the hope that this reallocation of funds will better serve folks made vulnerable by “cracks in the system”.

The mandate of the Community Safety and Well-Being Task Force is to initiate an inclusive relationship-based process to create actionable recommendations for Council regarding the future of community safety and well-being in the city that are anti-racist.  (Bylaw 19407). Through an inclusive, relationship-based approach the Task Force will explore how services users and service providers can work together to create actionable funding suggestions and policy changes to achieve better outcomes.
