Bill Mikaluk (B.Ed., PCC, CPP)
Bill Mikaluk is a retired policeman. He enjoyed over 25 years with the Edmonton Police Service before retiring in 2019. He is now working part-time as a community peace officer and as a corporate chaplain. He also volunteers at his church, creating men’s programs such as Men’s Adventure Group and ‘Power Up!’, which is a personal development program.
Bill began his career as a school teacher and then transitioned into policing, which drew him into instructing and performance management in the Edmonton Police Service. He also worked as a coordinator within the Police Training Officer program for a number of years.
When a friend encouraged Bill to get involved in coaching and certification, Bill realized how transformational this would be for himself and his colleagues. That was in 2010, and was the beginning of his journey into ‘coaching in policing’, and supporting police leaders. Bill started “CopsCoach International” shortly after.
In 2011, Bill became a certified professional coach and a certified police coach, and has presented coaching materials at various conferences. In 2018/2019 he completed the Positive Psychology and Positive Education certification programs through Wilfrid Laurier University, and has since taught law enforcement students.
Bill is married to Bonnie (29 years) and they have two grown children, so he appreciates the challenges and joys that come with family life in the law enforcement environment and beyond. Bill is a huge advocate of journaling (for self-awareness and personal growth) and enjoys time in the outdoors where he finds his balance, renewal and a greater appreciation for God.
