Use of force by Edmonton Transit peace officers should be monitored: justice minister

A dramatic upswing in the use of force by Edmonton Transit peace officers concerns Alberta’s justice minister. 
A Postmedia report revealed Tuesday that officers reported 523 use-of-force incidents in 2017 — nearly double 2015’s total and up 118 from 2016. The internal City of Edmonton stats were obtained through a freedom of information request. 
Use of force among peace officers was highest in 2008, when officers reported 629 incidents.
