Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis says an independent Alberta service could step in to help address concerns he’s heard about the Mounties ’ staffing shortages and rising costs.

Ellis says if the province shifts about $136 million in annual Alberta Sheriffs funding for police work, there could be little startup costs.

Opposition says if hundreds of sheriffs are shifted to staff the new provincial police service, it raises questions about how the work they are currently doing will get done.
