WEYBURN — Fans in the Weyburn area were well-behaved after the Saskatchewan Roughiders won the Grey Cup on Nov. 16.
The Weyburn Police Service (WPS) said it did not receive any calls related to the Green and White’s championship win.
In other recent police news, the WPS says members received several complaints throughout the past week about vehicles stunting or being driven erratically in parking lots and on various streets.
Police remind anyone witnessing this type of behaviour to report it immediately and, if safely possible, obtain a licence plate number.
The WPS also reminds motorists that vehicle registrations must be renewed annually. SGI does not automatically renew your registration even if monthly payments are set up. Driving an unregistered vehicle carries a $580 fine.
Throughout the week, the WPS says it responded to multiple calls involving individuals experiencing mental health distress. In several cases, people reached out by calling for help, and in one instance, the WPS said an individual in significant distress flagged down a patrolling officer. In each situation, police transported the individual to the hospital for further care and support.
The WPS emphasizes that nobody should ever feel shame or worry about being a burden when seeking help. If you or someone you know is struggling, the WPS strongly encourages reaching out.
Weyburn-Bengough MLA Michael Weger joined WPS members on a ride-along. According to the WPS, Weger has been participating in ride-alongs with police services across the province, and WPS members appreciated what they called his “hands-on approach” to learning more about policing in Saskatchewan.
The WPS responded to 68 calls for service for the week of Nov. 9-16.
