Chief Mike Boyd

Chief Mike Boyd joined the Edmonton Police Service on January 1, 2006 with

35 years of policing behind him.

Although his police career involved working in uniform and plainclothes

areas, the majority of his time was spent in investigative branches and the

fields of police professionalism, ethics and race relations. Chief Boyd's

commitment to intelligence-led policing, combating organized crime, and

improving problem-solving techniques has remained strong over the years.

He has been recognized with numerous national and international

awards including his investiture as Commander of the Order of Merit of the

Police Forces by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,

Governor General of Canada in 2004.

It's been over two years since Chief Boyd joined the Edmonton Police

Service, and his strong leadership has become evident to those within the

Service as well as those from across the community. He is an innovator. He

is a problem solver. He is a community champion.

Chief Boyd is as focused on developing better methods and technologies to

solve crime and reduce victimization as he is to building relationships

through community policing. He is the epitome of an experienced,

professional, ethical, passionate and confident leader who is attuned to

the needs of his community.



The Office of the Chief



The Chief of Police is responsible for the efficient and effective

operation of all components of the Edmonton Police Service, and consistent

with the provisions of Section 41 of the Police Act, is responsible for the

Biography:



Debbie Marshall has worked as a freelance writer and editor for over twenty years, contributing to local and national magazines and on-line publications, including Legacy, Alberta Views, The Beaver, NeWest Review, Canadian Heritage, The Canadian Encyclopedia, The United Church Observer, and others. For eight years, she was editor of the national Exchange Magazine for Adult Learners. In 2001, she co-authored Candles to Kilowatts: 100 Years of Edmontons Power Company (Duval House). Since then, Marshall has contributed to anthologies such as Dropped Threads II (Toronto: Random House, 2003) and Push It! (Cleveland: UCP, 2002). She has also edited collections, including Spiritual Quest: Stories from Life (Toronto: UCPH, 2003) and the Edmonton best seller Big Enough Dreams (Edmonton: Learning Community Press, 2006)an anthology describing the compelling lives of developmentally disabled Albertans.



Most recently, Marshalls passionate love for history was revealed in another Edmonton bestseller, Give Your Other Vote to the Sister: A Womans Journey into the Great War, (Calgary: University of Calgary Press, 2007). Give Your Other Vote is a biography of one of the first two women elected to a legislature anywhere in the British Empire. That woman was Roberta MacAdams, an Edmontonian serving overseas during World War I. Marshalls biography not only describes this compelling politician, but also the authors own journey across Canada and Europe as she attempted to reclaim the life of this forgotten woman.
