🚸 BACK TO SCHOOL 🚸 As students across the city return to school this week, the Edmonton Police Service, along with Edmonton schools, the City of Edmonton and the Alberta Motor Association are reminding drivers to slow down to 30 km/h around school and playground zones. Dropoff and pickup times are especially hectic around schools. All road users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, need to stay alert, avoid distractions, and obey all rules of the road. Let’s make sure everyone gets where they’re going safely!

EPS responds to roughly 34,000 collisions per year. But this unit only investigates the most severe. ‘Every once in a while you get surprised at just how violent these events can be.’ Learn more about the Edmonton Police Service's Major Collisions Investigations Section on edmontonpolice.ca

Today we remember Cst. William Nixon. On August 30, 1919, Cst. Nixon was walking his beat when he was shot by a suspicious individual near 104 Avenue and 101 Street. He was transported to the Royal Alexandra Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Today we remember PSD Titus who died in the line of duty on August 27, 1989. PSD Titus and his handler were responding to an armed robbery call. Both PSD Titus and the suspect were struck by a vehicle during the pursuit. PSD Titus was rushed to the Emergency Vet Clinic but succumbed to his injuries. Forever watchful. Never forgotten.
