Episode Details

Edmonton’s Police Commission is going fully virtual and silencing live public input for three key meetings this fall, citing a toxic climate fueled by heated debates—including calls for the police chief’s resignation over his controversial trip to Israel. The commission says recent sessions have devolved into personal attacks and threats, making it unsafe for public servants. While written feedback remains open, it must stay focused on official duties. The move, seen as a pandemic-era throwback, is temporary—with a review planned before year’s end—and comes amid broader tech discussions, including facial recognition tied to Axon body cameras, which recently acquired an Israeli firm for $625 million, heralded as a game-changer for first responders.
