New Edmonton police chief to be announced Wednesday

Edmonton’s new top cop will be announced by the Edmonton Police Commission Wednesday morning.
Media outlets will be supplied the name at 8 a.m. and a press conference is scheduled for 9:45 a.m., a police commission release said Tuesday.
The successful candidate will be in attendance and will take part in a question and answer session.
Former chief Rod Knecht’s contract expired Oct. 31 and his request to stay on until June 2018 was shot down by the police commission in May.
