Recent orders in council show Saskatchewan is increasing police funding for the implementation of an anti\u002Dtrafficking unit.
Perhaps a minivan, hauling a family on a weekend getaway, meanders west toward Medicine Hat. A man in a pickup truck dangles south toward the oilfield near Estevan. A nondescript sedan with out of province plates cruises cautiously at a speed just shy of the limit, its trunk loaded with guns and drugs, bound for business in the Queen City.
The order amended police funding to account for Regina’s contribution to the team. The province will provide an increase of $131,000, earmarked for Regina, pertaining to the team’s implementation over a year ending March 31.Similar orders for the cities of Saskatoon and Prince Albert were also issued Friday.The province provided information indicating it would consist of 30 RCMP officers, six city police officers, two criminal analysts, and three support staff.
“The number of firearms in our communities in Saskatchewan, and being used in the commission of offences, has gone up over the last number of years.”
