The case Edmonton (Police Service) (Applicant) v. Ahlstrom (Respondent), 2023 ABCA 248, the Edmonton Police Service sought permission to appeal a decision made by the Law Enforcement Review Board. This case was about Constable David Ahlstrom, who had admitted to misconduct on duty, leading to his dismissal from the Edmonton Police Service. The Review Board however, reversed this decision and instead reinstated Ahlstrom's employment while imposing a rank reduction for two years. The Chief of the Edmonton Police Service applied for permission to appeal this decision under the Police Act.
