SPOTLIGHT
⯈ From Sept. 9 to 12, Saskatchewan RCMP conducted a proactive crime suppression initiative in the Battlefords area. The initiative brought together approximately 40 specialized officers to support frontline policing efforts. Working alongside Battlefords RCMP and partner agencies, officers focused on locating wanted individuals, ensuring compliance with court-ordered conditions, disrupting criminal activity, and enhancing community safety. The initiative resulted in multiple arrests of wanted offenders, the seizure of illegal tobacco products, more than 200 traffic stops, and progress on several ongoing investigations. The operation demonstrated the effectiveness of intelligence-led policing and the dedication of officers committed to keeping communities safe. Read more here.
⯈ Do you know about the Online Crime Reporting (OCR) tool? The OCR tool allows the public to report thefts, lost property, or damaged property – all valued under $5,000 (ex. stolen bicycles, graffiti, a shattered window, etc.). The OCR is an additional reporting option for non-emergencies only. Submit a report online here: Online Crime Reporting
In an emergency, always call 911.
OUR COMMUNITY
⯈ On Sept. 15 and 16, Corporal Brewer attended the Sweetgrass First Nation Cultural Camp. This event brought together youth, families, and community members for cultural learning – some activities included tipi set up, dry meat making, outdoor cooking, tipi pole making, and more. The RCMP-led activities included handprints being placed on the police cruiser.
⯈ On Sept. 19, Sergeant Stephens and Inspector How, with Battlefords Detachment, attended the “Meet a Machine” event. This was an interactive event where children could get up close to the Battlefords RCMP Mobile Command truck – commonly known as “Bert”.
⯈ On Sept 29, students from Clifford Wuttunnee School placed orange handprints on the side of a marked RCMP truck. The ‘Paint a PC’ initiative gives community members and youth an opportunity to leave their mark on an RCMP vehicle and honour their communities, cultures and experiences.
⯈ On Sept. 30, Corporal Brewer and the team with Battlefords RCMP’s First Nations Community Policing attended Saulteaux Heritage School for a Truth and Reconciliation event. Chief Moccasin participated in painting the police cruiser. The orange handprints left behind serve as a visible reminder of the relationships, conversations and shared commitment to reconciliation that continue long after the paint has dried. Corporal Brewer also lead the walk with the school’s Elders and Cultural Liaison.
