A massive anti-racism rally was held in Edmonton in June. Seven months later, the push to address the issues continues.

While appearing on 630 CHED Mornings on Wednesday, Edmonton police Chief Dale McFee recapped a busy 2020 and looked ahead to 2021.

Under the new impaired driving laws, significant penalties will be handed out at the roadside including fines up to $2,000.

Justice Minister Kaycee Madu says members of the Black, Indigenous and other communities have expressed concerns that they are unfairly targeted and harassed.

Edmonton police have been called to several shootings in the past few days, including two in the west end which chief Dale McFee said are connected and likely involve gang activity.

Edmonton's police chief said he is committed to take action to improve relationships with racialized and underserved communities in the city. 

An online public hearing will take place next week during which Edmontonians can share their experiences with racism in the city, particularly when it comes to interactions with police.

Edmonton's police chief says there is systemic racism in Canadian policing, but he worries that defunding police could lead to a loss of officers and programs brought in to address diversity.

Dale McFee says there's an opportunity in updating the Police Act to bring about change in police oversight.

Video of a June 2018 arrest by Edmonton police is under scrutiny. The man says the officer's knee was on his neck for several minutes. EPS disagrees and says another video provides much more context.
