I believe this is the Calgary Police Service mounted patrol unit, which should signal the end of the procession. The funeral inside Rogers Place is due to begin shortly. Follow @jonnywakefield for more on what’s happening inside.

Nearby MacEwan University has flags at half mast, while two Edmonton Fire Rescue Services ladder trucks are positioned on opposite sides of 104 Ave., just before 104 st., draping a pair of Canadian flags overhead. Edmonton police helicopter Air One is buzzing above as well.

Two hearses with the fallen Constables names on the windows follow the motorcade, and a massive procession of bagpipe players and blue and black uniformed officers.

RCMP officers are also in the procession, which has reached the east entrance at Rogers Place. Also seeing some peace officers in the mix.

The board says over the past 10 months, Alberta Municipalities has been focused on improving public safety, while "the Government of Alberta has chosen to focus on how the province can distance itself from Ottawa." It also says the uncertainty is now hurting RCMP recruitment.

After a "constructive" meeting with Alberta’s Justice Minister General Tyler Shandro, Alberta Municipalities' board sent out a release this morning saying the province needs a public safety task force rather than a new provincial police force. #ableg In part:

Journalism inside baseball, but I've working on this for awhile. @CityofEdmonton comms asked me to wait until they informed the artist of the decision, then would tell me when I could pursue my story. Exclusivity was the currency. They gave me 1 hour warning. Angry? You bet. #yeg
