11th Annual Crime Prevention Guide

Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 1 The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to support the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers’ (SFPO) Annual Crime Prevention Guide. Proceeds from this publication will be used to support improvements in law enforcement and community-based programs, including Child Find Sask and Canadian Mental Health Association Saskatchewan. This year’s guide is focused on mental health awareness, including issues such as suicide prevention, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), drug addiction, alcoholism and other important mental health challenges. As first responders, police officers encounter a variety of situations with the potential of having a mental health component that must be considered. Our government recognizes the challenges faced by our police services and has made the largest investment in mental health and addictions services in Saskatchewan history. We know that there is still more work to be done, and will continue to work with our partners to improve access to mental health services. The Government of Saskatchewan commends the more than 1,300 SFPO members from Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Weyburn and Estevan. The SFPO continues to make recommendations to the Saskatchewan Police Commission and is committed to providing support to our communities. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the SFPO for their valuable work in maintaining safe and secure communities for Saskatchewan residents.
