A summary from the week of April 24-April 30 incorporated 82 calls for service related to COVID-19 for RCMP officers serving in Saskatchewan.
From April 24 to April 30, 2020, there were 82 calls for service, including 43 complaints of social gatherings of over 10 people; seven complaints of people failing to self-isolate when allegedly required to do so and 32 other COVID-19 related complaints.
Two charges were laid for social gatherings of over 10 people in the northern area of the province. The RCMP wish to remind the public a public health order has been extended in all areas of Saskatchewan. The RCMP hope continue to working closer with Saskatchewan Health Authorities to investigate continuing and/or potential violations of the order to fight the spread of COVID-19, but they require the public’s assistance.
The RCMP in Saskatchewan are attempting to keep communities safe by responding to calls for service. Officers across the province are also responding to calls for service unrelated to COVID-19. Additionally, they’ve participated in birthday and community parades with partner agencies whenever time permits.
Finally, the provincial RCMP know the weather’s been nicer in many areas across the province in early May; however, they’ve reminded the public to stay at home, refrain from gathering in groups over 10 and maintain a distance of two metres or more to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
