Public Safety Compliance Team

Introduction of the ‘Public Safety Compliance Team’

As Prince Albert moves towards the community development of an Alcohol Strategy, one area that has been identified is liquor compliance and licensed establishments. As our community grows, there are greater pressures placed upon licensed business, licensed community events, as well as regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of patrons – inside bars, nightclubs and drinking establishments and on their surrounding sidewalks and streets. Safe establishments attract patrons, encourage responsible socialization and consumption of alcohol.

The City of Prince Albert and Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority has recently established the Public Safety Compliance Team (PSCT). It is a multi-agency team comprised of a core group of representatives from the following regulatory agencies: 1. Prince Albert Police Service – Police and Bylaw 2. Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority 3. City of Prince Albert: Planning and Development Services, and Community Services 4. Prince Albert Fire Department The PSCT has been established to ensure a safe environment for the staff and patrons of all licensed premises, events and/or facilities in the City of Prince Albert. The team’s focus will be on education and prevention, as well as enforcement of legislation, bylaws and regulations. It seeks to promote good business practices to ensure a successful, strong and growing hospitality industry in Prince Albert.

As an owner or manager of a licensed establishment(s), or a community event organizer, we want to have the opportunity to provide more detailed information and seek your input on how to balance the business needs of the hospitality industry with the safety and quality of life needs of the community.
Please join us for the following information session as your opportunity to learn how the PSCT will operate, discuss any concerns, and have your questions answered:
Tuesday, May 13th, 2014 from 7:00pm-9:00pm at the Ches Leach Lounge – Art Hauser Centre

We look forward to a positive working relationship with each of you. To confirm your attendance, and if you have any questions that you would like addressed at the upcoming information sessions, please contact Cst.
