REGINA — The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 10 to 16, as National Police Week.
This year’s theme is “Committed to Serve Together.”
Since 1970, National Police Week has recognized the dedication, professionalism and service of police officers and law enforcement agencies across the province who work to keep Saskatchewan communities safe. The week highlights the importance of collaboration between the RCMP, municipal police services, law enforcement agencies, government and community partners to help strengthen community and public safety, Sask. Community Safety states in a press release.
"Police services across Saskatchewan work every day with community and other law enforcement partners to address complex challenges and help keep people safe," Community Safety Minister Michael Weger said.
"National Police Week is an opportunity to recognize their outstanding service and reaffirm our government's commitment to providing the resources and supports our policing and law enforcement partners need to protect our communities."
"While we continue to learn from and contribute to national policing efforts, Saskatchewan presents a uniquely challenging and deeply rewarding environment, where success is built on the resilience, collaboration and ingenuity of our frontline members,” Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police President Patrick Nogier said.
“As policing evolves, it is important that public safety efforts continue to be informed by frontline experience, supported by strong partnerships, legislation and sustained investment. Together, we will make a difference."
