EPA History in a nutshell
Initially, the Edmonton Policeman’s Association and the Edmonton Policeman’s Benevolent Fund were established for two specific purposes.
The purposes were:
• to provide Police Officers a voice during collective bargaining
• an avenue whereby Police Officers could obtain financial assistance during troubled times
The Edmonton Police Association presently fulfills those same roles as well as many other roles. Since its inception, the Edmonton Police Association has become a strong voice for serving and retired members. During the past and present years, Police Officers who have served and still serve as Executive Officers with the Edmonton Police Association have earned the respect and gratitude of its members.
