Public Security Indigenous Advisory Committee

Committee members help strengthen partnerships to address the safety and security needs of Indigenous communities throughout Alberta.

Overview

The Public Security Indigenous Advisory Committee was created in November 2022 to provide advice and recommendations to improve public safety throughout Alberta, including in Indigenous communities.

The committee advises on public safety initiatives to help ensure government policies, programs and processes align with the needs of Indigenous communities across the province.

Reconciliation is a priority for Alberta’s government. As partners in reconciliation, we are listening to and working with Indigenous Peoples in Alberta to build a renewed relationship and better future.
