The Minister of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety has announced $5.7 million to support the 44 existing police service positions in the City of Regina.

The money is allocated through the Municipal Police Grants program. SGI is also providing $900,000 for five positions as part of the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan initiative. This brings the total of the Regina Police Service Funding Agreement to $6.6 million for 49 police positions in 2023-24.
The funding will help support specific initiatives such as the Police and Crisis Team, which pairs police officers with mental health workers to provide assistance to people experiencing a mental health crisis in the community.
Funding also supports the Internet Child Exploitation program, which is dedicated to the investigation of online child exploitation.
