In an effort to increase public understanding and transparency, the Saskatchewan RCMP is explaining how it arrests wanted people and monitors those on court-ordered conditions

A release from the RCMP says there are many ways to arrest someone who is wanted on a warrant.

Oftentimes, frontline detachment members use their knowledge of their communities to know where wanted people may be, locate, and arrest them.

Alternatively, specialized units like the Saskatchewan Enforcement Response Teams use data systems to identify the most dangerous of wanted offenders, who are likely evading police. They then use specialized police tactics to find them.

Sometimes, community tips are what lead investigators in the right direction. The RCMP says these tips have led to the arrest of 13 people off its most wanted list so far this year.

Those who have been released from custody on court-ordered conditions are also a priority for officers to keep an eye on. Specifically for curfew conditions, officers visit the approved home of the person and make sure they are home when they are supposed to be. In the North District alone, officers conducted more than 6,000 curfew checks so far this year.

In the case the person is not abiding by their conditions, officers lay breach charges and ensure the offenders are brought before the courts. In 2025, Saskatchewan RCMP charged 6,189 people with breach of conditions or failure to appear in court.
