EPS works at supporting families of missing, murdered

The Edmonton Police Service hosted a three-day conference on exploring the challenges and finding the solutions on how to interact with and help families, who have loved ones that are murdered or missing. A number of sessions targeted working with Indigenous communities and the families of murdered and missing Indigenous women. “This is an issue that touches communities across Canada, so it’s important that regardless of what jurisdiction the crime takes place, we provide the best ongoing and consistent support to victims and their families,” said EPS Insp. Dan Jones. The discussion supports the current research undertaken by the Alberta justice and solicitor general and other provincial initiatives in Canada. The conference took place Sept. 30-Oct. 2.
