Two weeks ago the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement group was renamed the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol to reflect its expanded policing responsibilities and now the government is releasing the new look of their vehicles.
You will see them on the road as of July 1st, responding to situations where previously only the police would be involved.
These officers will be enforcing traffic violations for commercial and private vehicles.
It’s part of the provincial government’s effort to reduce rural crime.
Their new duties include responding to 9-1-1 calls, investigating impaired drivers, enforcing speed limits and other traffic violations, responding to accidents and taking action when offences are committed.
