Edmonton woman Chelsea Brown testified that police ignored her abuse case, urging reforms to prevent survivor deaths.
Edmonton woman Chelsea Brown, a domestic violence survivor and founder of Warriors Way Forward Association, testified before the Edmonton Police Commission, criticizing the Edmonton Police Service for dismissing her case despite severe abuse and a lost pregnancy.
She highlighted cases of women charged after defending themselves before being killed, stressing how inadequate police responses can enable abusers.
Citing 2023 Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters data, she noted over 65% of sheltered survivors were at extreme risk of death, more than half faced worsening abuse, and over 40% had been strangled.
Brown called for trauma-informed policing and early intervention to prevent further fatalities, urging systemic reform to better protect survivors.
