The following offenders are wanted by the Saskatchewan RCMP. These are individuals with active warrants who were last known to be living in Saskatchewan.
These offenders have been selected to appear on this list based on a review of their current criminal charges and the potential harm they present to communities in Saskatchewan. This is not a complete list of all persons wanted by the Saskatchewan RCMP.
Offenders are determined by a data-driven scoring system using the Crime Severity Index, a Statistics Canada measurement that looks at both the number and the relative severity of crimes. Factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, sexuality or disability are not considered in the scoring process.
The intent of releasing this list of wanted offenders is to encourage tips and information from the public to support RCMP investigations and lead to the arrest of these individuals. This list is updated and distributed monthly.
Four wanted offenders previously on this list have been arrested in the last month. The Saskatchewan RCMP routinely reviews and evaluates offenders included on this wanted list. As a result of a review at the beginning of May, four offenders have been added to the list based on their current Crime Severity Index scores.
Do not attempt to contact, approach or apprehend these individuals on your own. If you recognize any of these offenders and have information regarding their whereabouts, activities or associations, call 310-RCMP (7257) or 911 in an emergency.
