Enyinnah Okere: How Edmonton Developed A Game Changing Policing Strategy

One of the most basic responsibilities of a government is to keep its people safe. In a city, that first line of defense is the police. They are trained to investigate crimes, handle violent criminals and put them in jail.
Yet police departments also spend a lot of time on repeat nonviolent incidents. They manage domestic disputes, mental health episodes and sometimes just people who are down on their luck.
This realization led to the creation of Endmonton’s HELP program, which has been highly successful in reducing police calls and overall crime rates. Perhaps most importantly, it’s improving the lives of Edmonton's most vulnerable citizens.
Enyinnah Okere, Edmonton Police Service’s Chief Operations Officer Joins us to tell us the story of how it all developed as well as his own incredible journey.
