Report from the Weyburn Police Service for the week of June 4 to 10:
During the reporting period, police received 155 calls for service. A number of complaints were to do with barking dogs, noisy parties and setting off fireworks. As the weather gets nicer and people tend to gather outside and people leave their windows open, there tends to be an increase of these types of calls. Police asks the cooperation of people to respect their neighbors and keep noise under control. If you keep a pet in the yard it is your responsibility to keep them and the noise they make under control. If the incidents of noise continue home owners can expect to be charged under the noise bylaw.
