Equipment dossier¶
The item-by-item record of Edmonton Police Service equipment. Each page is tagged by how well-supported the claim is, so a skeptic can check any single item against its source without the whole dossier standing or falling as one. The tags are the backbone of that discipline. Read them before the table.
The tags¶
| Tag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| confirmed | EPS-admitted, council-documented, or hard reporting |
| rumored | Alleged or inferred, no receipt |
| See the full tag index and the methodology for how these classifications are applied. | |
| ## Two facial-recognition episodes, kept apart | |
| Facial recognition at EPS is two separate episodes, not one. The 2019-20 Clearview AI incident and the 2025 Axon body-cam proof-of-concept stay strictly apart: different year, different vendor, different mechanism. Do not conflate them. | |
