REGINA, Sask. — A civilian employee of the Regina Police Service (RPS) has been charged under Saskatchewan’s privacy legislation after an internal investigation found she improperly accessed the police service’s internal database six times between 2023 and 2025.
Katrina Caza was charged Monday under the Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LAFOIP), the RPS said in a news release. The charge carries a maximum fine of $50,000 or up to one year in jail.
“As Chief of Police, I made a commitment to ensure we were taking steps to improve process, oversight and accountability related to accessing private information,” said Chief Lorilee Davies in a media release Monday. “This shows what we are doing is working.”
Caza, who has four years of service with the police service, remains employed but has been barred from accessing RPS internal databases pending the outcome of court proceedings.
The matter was sent to the Attorney General for consideration of both criminal charges and charges under section 56(6) of LAFOIP. The Attorney General didn’t recommend a criminal charge, however a charge under section 56(6) of LAFOIP was approved. Forwarding matters of this nature to the Attorney General, as a first step, is one of several enhancements in the Service’s policy and process related to access and privacy, said RPS. The matter has also been proactively reported to the Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner.
Efforts to strengthen the RPS access and privacy program are ongoing and include random audits of database access, the continued development of the Access and Privacy Unit, and aligning internal discipline with public expectations.
Caza will make her first appearance on this matter in Regina Provincial Court on Oct. 20.
