More people, more challenges: Policing minister
At a municipal policing forum held in Regina Thursday, Corrections and Policing minister Christine Tell gave a speech about the challenges the RCMP and city police forces face as the province’s population reaches an all-time high.
The forum was put on by the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association which had Tell as the keynote speaker.
In her speech, Tell spoke about the rising demand and rising costs of policing in the province and how those issues might be dealt with.
“We recognize that if we continue doing business the way we’re doing it, we’re going to continue having problems,” she said in an interview after her speech.
