Minister Mike Ellis maintains that this new police force is not intended to replace the Alberta RCMP.
Minister Mike Ellis did not, however, quantify the cost of this new police force, nor present a timetable for its implementation.< /p>
There are also no budgetary provisions for the creation of such a police force in the provincial budget tabled last month.
The province has not specified how many sheriffs will become police members of this new police force. It is also unknown how many of them will join this new police force and continue to patrol courthouses and government buildings.
