Alberta is stepping up its public safety game! With the appointment of Chief Sat Parhar as the head of the Independent Agency Police Service (IAPS), municipalities are about to get a fresh approach to local policing.

Chief Parhar comes with over 25 years of policing experience, including key leadership roles in the Calgary Police Service. His deep understanding of Alberta’s diverse safety needs uniquely qualifies him to lead this exciting initiative.

The IAPS will allow local governments to tailor their policing strategies, helping to ensure communities feel safe and connected. This new agency aims to fill gaps in current services, especially in rural areas where response times can lag.

Chief Parhar emphasized his commitment to high standards and strong community relationships. As IAPS gets ready to launch, he's focused on hiring a top-notch executive team and creating the essential policies to keep everyone safe.

This isn't just about policing; it's about creating a service that reflects what Albertans truly value. Stay tuned as the IAPS prepares to become a vital part of Alberta's public safety landscape!
