PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — Frontline officers with the Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) continue to respond to a high volume of calls for service while remaining committed to keeping the community safe.
Between June and Aug. 19, officers responded to more than 70 calls for service during 12-hour shifts, dealing with a wide range of incidents and calls for assistance. These included disturbances, family disputes, weapons- related calls, welfare checks, proactive neighbourhood engagement and other matters requiring a police response.
The busiest shift occurred on July 30, when officers responded to 92 calls for service in a single 12-hour period.
These numbers provide a snapshot of the demands placed on frontline officers, who can move from one call to another throughout a shift, responding to incidents that can range from routine matters to situations requiring an immediate and coordinated police response.
“Responding to over 70 calls in a 12-hour shift is a significant workload, and 92 calls in one shift demonstrates just how busy our frontline officers can be,” said Chief Patrick Nogier. “Despite that pace, our members continue to respond with professionalism, compassion and a commitment to public safety. Every shift brings a new challenge and every call matters. As we continue to show up, we thank the community for its ongoing support.”
The Prince Albert Police Service says it recognizes the dedication of its members and remains committed to providing a professional and responsive police service to the community.
