To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Edmonton Police Service, the fifth edition of the popular comic book, Legacy of Heroes takes readers back to the first days of policing in Edmonton.

Legacy of Heroes: Back to the Beginning takes place in 1892 when the population of Edmonton was only 700 people and the citizens had a problem that needed to be solved.

 

The arch rival on the south-side of the river, South Edmonton, had lobbied the federal government to relocate the Dominion Land Office to their town. Without the land office, Edmonton’s future was in doubt.

 

The town’s first mayor, Matt McCauley, had only been in office a few months when the controversy erupted. Residents threatened violence if the decision to move the land office was not reversed. Mayor McCauley knew he had to act fast.
