21 New Officers Hired to Support Frontline Policing in Saskatchewan

The Government of Saskatchewan is funding 21 new police officer positions filled over the past year as part of the province's $11.9 million Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods commitment to hire approximately 100 new municipal police officers.

"Saskatchewan residents expect and deserve to feel safe in their communities and that means having enough police officers on the ground where they are needed the most," Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Tim McLeod said. "We are proud to support municipal police services in expanding their frontline capacity to prevent and respond to criminal activity in their communities."
