Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 1 PREM I ER OF SASKATCHEWAN LEGISLATIVE BUILDING REGINA, CANADA S4S 0B3 2018 Crime Prevention Guide The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to support the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers’ (SFPO) Annual Crime Prevention Guide. This year’s guide focuses on increasing awareness about prescription drug abuse. When used properly, prescription medications help treat a variety of conditions, however, when misused they can cause dependence, overdose, and death. Our government takes prescription drug abuse seriously and together with our health care professionals and law enforcement officials we are actively working to create awareness of the dangerous effects of prescription drug abuse, as well as preventing these dangers from occurring. The government provides alcohol, drug and addictions resources for citizens to learn about the risks and effects of misuse and services available for recovery. We must all be vigilant in delivering a strong message on the consequences of drug abuse. The Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers represents over 1000 personnel from six municipalities across Saskatchewan. The SFPO is committed to upholding professionalism while providing support to our communities and making recommendations to the Saskatchewan Police Commission. All proceeds from this publication go directly to support improvements in law enforcement and to the SFPO to contribute to community-based programs. Thank you to the SFPO and to all active police personnel for your continued commitment to keeping our communities safe. Scott Moe Premier
