Saskatoon’s Little Chief Police Station under review

Aug 13, 2011 | 7:53 AM

The Saskatoon City Police are proposing the closure of the Little Chief Police Station.

Police Chief Clive Weighill said the satellite police station in the Riversdale area is no longer necessary.

“We haven’t had police resources in that site since 2007,” said Weighill.

Randy Shabilo of the Riversdale Business Improvement District agrees, saying crime is better fought on the streets.

Crime has fallen 40 per cent in the Riversdale area over the last five years even with zero police presence in the station.
