Saskatoon’s Chief of Police says their partnership with Operation Runway is invaluable.
Troy Cooper says they have worked together to greatly reduce the number of chronic youth runaways and the amount of time they spend on the street.
Cooper says the program operating out of the EGADZ Outreach centre reduces police workload when it comes to runaways.
Operation Runaway is getting 125-thousand dollars from the province and 25-thousand from Home Depot to operate for another year.
