A new law enforcement presence is expected to be operating in Saskatchewan by 2026.
The Saskatchewan Marshals Service (SMS) was announced by the province, with the government saying this unit will support both RCMP and municipal police services.
“We know there are areas in Saskatchewan that need more visible, active policing,” said Christine Tell, Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister.
“The SMS will provide that, and work with RCMP and municipal police to strengthen law enforcement across the entire province.”
The Government of Saskatchewan said the SMS will conduct proactive investigations, work to apprehend offenders with outstanding arrest warrants, respond to areas with high crime rates, and investigate offences on farmland like theft and trespassing.
This agency will be independent, and will report to Saskatchewan’s corrections, policing and public safety minister.
