- Patrol special events such as concerts and sports games to manage traffic flow and event parking.
- Write detailed, factual daily reports, incident logs, and check-in documentation.
- Attend court proceedings when required to present official evidence related to citations.
Over Time: High-performing officers have opportunities to transition into vehicle patrol (City Patrol), pursue Administrative Peace Officer status, or step into leadership roles such as Dispatcher, Team Lead, or Field Supervisor.
Compensation and Schedule
- Starting Pay: $21.00 per hour during training.
- Post-Swear-In Pay: $21.33 per hour once training is complete and you are formally appointed by the City of Edmonton.
- Schedule: Full-time (40 hours per week) on a 5-days-on, 2-days-off rotation. Shifts run between 08:00 and 19:00, with variable hours for special events (mornings, afternoons, or evenings).
- Benefits: Medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and paid vacation package.
