The training was aimed at helping police enforce proposed federal laws that would would target drivers who are impaired by drugs, say officials.

...the subjects had been recruited at the request of police by an Edmonton social worker who helps reform street prostitutes and is connected to the Metis Child and Family Services Society, Edmonton.
The training took place at the Metis society...and involved 24 sworn police officers, including EPS and RCMP, as well as a Crown prosecutor, an EPS spokesman confirmed.
Sources say the subjects got high and were then observed by cops. The women were familiar with the Metis social agency because they'd been assisted by the organization to help clean up their acts and get off the streets.

...

"This required police authorization for them to secure their own illegal drugs ... and have police look the other way while they injected snorted or smoked them to get high."

....

Kate Quinn, executive director of the Prostitution Awareness and Action Foundation of Edmonton told the Sun her agency had nothing to do with the operation and didn't know about it ahead of time. "The only approved formal court diversion program is our program and we had no knowledge this research project was taking place," said Quinn.
