The Alberta government says the Select Special Ombudsman and Public Interest Commissioner Search Committee is recommending the appointment of Kevin Brezinski as Alberta’s 10th Ombudsman and third Public Interest Commissioner.
Provincial officials say the Office of the Public Interest Commissioner was established in 2013 to ensure protection of public sector employees under the Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act. The Ombudsman is said to promote fairness in public administration by objectively investigating complaints and ensuring actions and decisions are consistent with current legislation.
“Mr. Brezinski has extensive experience working within guidelines of administrative law,” said Miranda Rosin, MLA for Banff-Kananaskis and search committee chair. “I am confident he will use this knowledge to both gain public trust and to ensure all matters are managed in a fair and unbiased manner.”
Government officials say Brezinski joined the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) in 1992 after attaining his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Saskatchewan. Over the course of his 30-year career with EPS, he has held a variety of policing roles.
