Crime Reduction Team Racks up Results in Short Amount of Time

By Vanese M. Ferguson Apr 2, 2018 | 10:50 AM

RCMP Corporal Ryan Davies says the new Crime Reduction Team is concentrating largely on property crimes as well as doing curfew checks on those who are on warrants or conditions. The team is made up of 18 RCMP members and two civilians – a support person and a criminal analyst.

Davies says the new Crime Reduction Team goes into a small area based on intelligence and data that has been gathered by their criminal analyst and their strategy is high visibility with over-saturation in a specific area.

Since the new Saskatchewan RCMP Crime Reduction Team actually had boots on the ground, which was February 6th, they have arrested 19 gang members and affiliates, conducted over 776 traffic stops and 83 license establishment checks, while 123 warrants have been executed and 206 criminal code charges have been laid.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
