The identity can be produced either in full colour format, in all black, in all white, or in greyscale. Full Colour vErSion The full colour version should be used wherever possible. it must be displayed on a white background, and must be displayed with the requisite amount of white space surrounding it. when a white background is available the full colour version is the default position – unless there is a reason to use one of the other versions, the full colour version should be used. grEySCalE vErSion The greyscale version should be used on documents designed for black and white production. The tone of grey should remain the same in the spears originating on the left side of the identity, and vary in the spears originating on the right side of the identity.

  • EPC 2017 2Nd Quarter Report to the Community
    REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2017 Second Quarter COMMITTED TO POLICING EXCELLENCE Chief Rod Knecht, Superintendent Deb Jolly, and several school children planted an Autumn Blaze Maple Tree with a commemorative plaque to mark the special occasion. CELEBRATING 125 YEARS OF POLICING IN EDMONTON In early May, the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) planted 125 trees to recognize its roots in the community and to share a lasting legacy with future generations. The trees were planted by EPS school resource officers and over 600 grade one students taking part in the City of Edmonton’s annual Arbor Day activities at Gold Bar Park. For many children it was their first time interacting with police. To make the experience more memorable, EPS canine officers and their dogs gave demonstrations, EPS volunteers gave out crayons and colouring books, and Barney the Bear gave out hugs. “I’m encouraged by these children, they’re aware of their community and the environment, and want to help out and do the right thing,” said Chief Rod Knecht. “If these are our future leaders and police officers, we’re in good hands.” EDMONTON POLICE COMMISSION 1 2017 Second Quarter Report to the Community On June 17, an estimated 4,600 past and present EPS employees, families and friends gathered at Fort Edmonton Park to celebrate the 125 milestone. The event included rides and games in the 1920s midway, train and horse drawn wagon rides, black powder gun demonstrations, face painting, and five bands made up of former and current members of the EPS playing in the Blatchford Hangar throughout the evening.
