The Prince Albert Police Service has welcomed its newest batch of recruits to the force.

Rhyse Teniuk, Ethan Ironside, Mathew Hagborg, and Tayler Milligan were sworn in Tuesday at Prince Albert Provincial Court and will start training next week at the Saskatchewan Police College, in Regina.

Teniuk spent his early years in Prince Albert and was hired in the summer as an experienced community safety officer. He previously served in North Battleford and has spent the last six months serving Prince Albert as a community safety officer before being hired as a new recruit police officer.

Ironside joins the police service after completing the Prince Albert Grand Council mentorship program.

Milligan from Prince Albert has experience in the corrections field, as a deputy sheriff while Hagborg, originally from The Pas, Manitoba, said he is excited to call Prince Albert home and serve his new community.

With the hiring of these four officers, 105 positions of 106 are filled. The Prince Albert Police Service has a total authorized strength of 106 police officers.

“Over the last four years, the Prince Albert Police Service has hired more than 20 new recruits and welcomed four experienced officers from other agencies,” said Chief of Police Jonathan Bergen. “Recruiting dedicated people is critically important to our continued success in responding to the many needs of our community as your police service.”

“Since 2018, we have developed new partnerships with the Prince Albert Grand Council and the Métis Nation – Saskatchewan to identify and mentor qualified applicants. These partnerships provide support as hopeful applicants navigate the difficult and demanding recruitment process,” Deputy Chief of Police Farica Prince said.

Applications are currently being accepted for policing and civilian positions.
