Saskatoon Police Service (SPS; French: Service de police de Saskatoon) is the municipal police service in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It holds both municipal and provincial jurisdiction. Police Chief Cam McBride is the head of the service. The deputy chiefs are Dave Haye (Support Services) and Darren Pringle (Operations).[1] The SPS operates in partnership and cooperation with the Corman Park Police Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

History

[edit]
1910 Police Force

In 1887 the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) established a detachment in Saskatoon, in what is now the Nutana area of the city. The detachment moved across the river to a building on First Avenue between 19th and 20th Streets sometime after the area that is now the downtown was first settled in 1890. In 1889, Constable John Clisby of the NWMP became the settlement's first permanent police officer.

In January 1906, ex-NWMP constable Robert E. Dunning was appointed "Inspector, Constable, Engineer and Liquor License Inspector" for the then-Town of Saskatoon.[2] Prior to that, Dunning had sworn an oath of office as a "Special Constable for the province of Saskatchewan" for November and December 1905. It is not clear what his precise duties or those of his predecessor, William Page Hurst (appointed constable for the then-Northwest Territories, 15 August - 31 December 1905) were, but presumably they were related to law enforcement in Saskatoon.[3] After Saskatoon was incorporated as a city later that year, Dunning was appointed Chief of Police.[4] In 1910 the first Rules and Regulations of the Saskatoon Police Department were approved.[5]

In 1930, the force moved into its first purpose-built police station, the Municipal Justice Building on the corner of 4th Avenue and 23rd Street, across from City Hall. In 1977, a new station was built next to it. The old station was demolished in 1996 and the space became a parking lot. The new building cost roughly $5.5 million and had a floor space of 101,000 sq. feet. On 22 July 2014, Saskatoon's police operations moved into a new, much larger building on the 25th Street extension, between First Avenue and Idylwyld Drive. Built at a cost of $122 million, it is expected that it will serve as the central headquarters for the next 50 years.[6]

Dating back to at least 1976, the SPS is known for discrimination against the Indigenous people of Canada, through the practice of extrajudicial killings known as the "starlight tours", where Indigenous people were taken to the edge of the city in the dead of winter and abandoned so they freeze to death. It is unknown how many people have died from these "starlight tours". There are at least three suspected cases that led deaths.[7]

International police peacekeeping operations

[edit]

With struggling police forces worldwide there is a need for trained police officers to help training these forces. During 2009 and 2010 Constable Andrew Johnstone went to Afghanistan to train their police, and Sergeant Patrick Barbar in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Other members of the SPS have worked in other countries for other UN operations, such as Sergeant Darcel Pittman and former Deputy Chief Keith Atkinson in Kosovo in 2000.

They play widely varying roles within each mission, from patrolling streets and training police recruits to providing humanitarian assistance, ensuring security for elections and investigating human rights violations.[8]

Structure

[edit]

The Office of the Chief of the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) reports to the Board of Police Commissioners.[9] Both Deputy Chiefs, the Legal Services Division and Professional Standards Division report to the Office of the Chief chief of police. The two Deputy Chiefs manage the Operations Division and Support Services Division. The Operations Division has superintendents for Criminal Investigations and Patrol, and the Public Affairs Unit. The Support Services Division includes Human Resources, Technological Services, Finance, Central Records and Asset Management, Specialized Uniform Operations and Headquarters. Each of the Support Services divisions are managed by a Director (Civilian) or Inspector (Sworn Officer).[10] As of 2015 the SPS had 448 sworn Regular Constables, 59 Special Constables and 133 Civilian positions.[11] The ranks are as follows:[12]

Bruce Gordon Physical Fitness Centre

[edit]

Besides being an active athlete, Bruce Gordon started out in C Platoon with the Saskatoon Police Service before moving up through the Saskatoon Police Service as Saskatoon Detective Sergeant for in the Sex Crimes Unite as wells as Major Crime/Homicide Unit.[15] Gordon was honoured in 2004 with the Exemplary Service Medal, and again honoured in 2021 with the Chief's Award of Excellence.[16] Police Chief Clive Weighill made an announcement at the special ceremony held to call Gordon to the bar. In tribute to Bruce Gordon, the Saskatoon Police gym will be named after Bruce Gordon, the Bruce Gordon Physical Fitness Centre.[17][18]

Controversies

[edit]

Accusations against the Saskatoon Police Service have resulted in public inquiries. One such inquiry took place in 2006. It involved the investigation into the murder of a nursing student in Saskatoon in 1969. David Milgaard was convicted of this murder but was later cleared of this charge through DNA evidence which was unavailable at the time of his trial.[19]

On 8 September 2003, The Commission of Inquiry into the death of Neil Stonechild began, headed by commissioner Justice David Wright. The objective of the commission was to ascertain whether Neil Stonechild was apprehended on 25 November 1990, and while in police custody, driven out of the city and abandoned. The commission was a result of allegations by Darrell Night that two Saskatoon Police Officers dropped him off outside the city in January 2000. The commission found that the two officers, Senger and Hartwig, had taken Stonechild into custody shortly before he died on the outskirts of city. No charges were laid on the two officers but they were both fired.[20]

Freezing deaths ("starlight tours")

[edit]
Main article: Saskatoon freezing deaths

The Saskatoon Police Service has engaged in what has been called "starlight tours", the practice of taking Indigenous people to the edge of the city in the dead of winter and abandoning them there.[7] In January 2000, Darrell Night was dropped off on the outskirts of Saskatoon but was able to survive. The two officers involved were convicted of unlawful confinement in September 2001 and sentenced to eight months in prison.[21] In 2003, police chief Russell Sabo admitted that there was a practice in place, that the force had been dumping Indigenous people outside the city for years, after revealing that in 1976 an officer was disciplined for taking an Indigenous woman to the outskirts of the city and abandoning her there.[22]

Other Indigenous people who may have been subject to "starlight tours" are Rodney Naistus, Lawrence Wegner and Neil Stonechild. Rodney Naistus and Lawrence Wegner died in 2000 and their bodies were discovered on the outskirts of Saskatoon. However inquests in 2001 and 2002 into their deaths were unable to determine the circumstances that led to their deaths. The inquest juries made recommendations related to police policies and police force relations with Indigenous people.[23] Neil Stonechild's body was found in 1990 in a field outside Saskatoon. A 2003 inquest was not able to determine the circumstances that led to his death.[24][25] Two officers were dismissed from the Saskatoon Police Service for their alleged involvement in this matter.

Between 2012 and 2016, the "Starlight tours" section of the Saskatoon Police Service's Wikipedia article was deleted several times. An internal investigation revealed that two of the edits originated from a computer within the police service. A spokesperson for the force denied that the removal of content was officially approved by the force.[26] On 31 March 2016, the Saskatoon Star Phoenix reported that "Saskatoon police have confirmed that someone from inside the police department deleted references to "Starlight tours" from the Wikipedia web page about the police force."[27] According to the report, a "...police spokeswoman acknowledged that the section on starlight tours had been deleted using a computer within the department, but said investigators were unable to pinpoint who did it."[27] The police spokeswoman stated that the force is working to "move forward with all of the positive work that has been done, and continues to be done that came out of the Stonechild inquiry."[27]

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) is the principal enforcement agency responsible for policing the city of , , , encompassing patrol, investigations, traffic enforcement, and community safety programs within urban and surrounding areas. Established in 1903 as Saskatoon transitioned from oversight, the SPS has grown to include over 500 sworn officers and approximately 230 civilian personnel, delivering services to a population of 308,626 as of July 2024. The SPS operates from a modern facility completed in recent years to accommodate expanded staffing needs beyond its original building designed for 300 personnel, and maintains specialized divisions such as canine units, emergency response teams, and community outreach initiatives aimed at and public engagement. It has earned recognition as a Saskatchewan Top Employer for over a decade, reflecting investments in training, wellness, and operational efficiency. Notable achievements include the introduction of women officers in 1973 and sustained efforts in since 1979, fostering direct partnerships with residents to address local concerns. However, the service has endured major controversies, particularly regarding interactions with Indigenous populations, exemplified by the "starlight tours" practice in the 1990s and early , where officers transported intoxicated individuals—disproportionately Indigenous—to remote outskirts during severe winter conditions, resulting in hypothermia deaths and triggering inquiries like the 2004 Stonechild Inquiry, which criticized investigative lapses and prompted accountability reforms. More recently, in 2025, internal probes led to the dismissal of three officers for off-duty misconduct deemed incompatible with service standards, underscoring ongoing professional conduct challenges.

History

Origins and Early Development (1882–1910s)

Policing in the area originated with the (NWMP), which began providing services in 1882 as European settlement expanded in the region. The NWMP maintained order in the nascent communities of Nutana, , and Riversdale, which formed the basis of the future city. A formal NWMP detachment was established in 1887 in the Nutana district, operating from barracks until 1905. By 1889, the growing population prompted the hiring of Saskatoon's first full-time local to assist the NWMP, marking the initial shift toward municipal involvement in . This supplemented federal policing efforts amid the temperance colony's development and the influx of settlers. The area's policing remained under NWMP jurisdiction through the early 1900s, even as the provinces of and contracted the NWMP for provincial duties following their creation in 1905. The Saskatoon Police Department was formally established in 1910, assuming responsibility from the NWMP with a starting force of one , one deputy chief, two sergeants, five constables, and one detective. Robert E. Dunning, who had led local efforts from , served as the inaugural chief until 1915. This development coincided with 's incorporation as a city in and subsequent population boom, necessitating a dedicated municipal force. By 1919, the department had expanded to 22 members to address rising demands in the urbanizing center.

Expansion and Modernization (1920s–1980s)

During the and , the Police Service expanded alongside the city's rapid , which increased from approximately 25,000 residents in to 43,000 by 1931. This period saw the introduction of motorcycles for patrol duties, enhancing mobility for traffic enforcement and general response in an expanding . In 1930, the service relocated to its first purpose-built headquarters, the Municipal Justice Building, which served as a dedicated facility for operations until 1977. Modernization efforts accelerated in the with the installation of a radio communication in , allowing for real-time coordination between officers and dispatch, a critical upgrade for efficient policing in a growing city. Under Chief George M. Donald, who led from 1915 to 1946, the force adapted to post-Depression and wartime demands, maintaining stability during economic challenges. By 1970, personnel had grown to 207 members, reflecting sustained expansion to meet rising service calls amid Saskatoon's post-World War II boom. The 1970s marked further diversification and innovation, including the hiring of the first female officers—Joanne Balint, Monica Fisher, and Noella Peron—in 1973, making the first in to integrate women into sworn roles. Specialized units emerged, such as the River Rescue Unit in the 1970s, addressing local environmental hazards. In 1979, was introduced, stationing officers in specific districts for extended periods to foster stronger public ties and proactive problem-solving. Into the 1980s, tactical capabilities advanced with the formation of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) for high-risk operations, alongside innovations like police snowmobiles for winter patrols and "Oscar," a talking police car for public education. These developments underscored a shift toward specialized, technology-enhanced policing to handle evolving urban challenges.

Reforms and Contemporary Challenges (1990s–Present)

In the 1990s, the Saskatoon Police Service faced significant scrutiny following the death of 17-year-old Neil Stonechild, a Saulteaux First Nations youth found frozen in a field on November 25, 1990, after last being seen with two officers. The initial investigation was deemed inadequate, with evidence of a cover-up including failure to disclose officer involvement and mishandling of the case file, as later admitted by the service during the 2004 Stonechild Inquiry. This inquiry, commissioned in 2000 after further freezing deaths and allegations of "starlight tours"—a practice where intoxicated Indigenous individuals were allegedly driven outside city limits and abandoned in sub-zero temperatures—exposed systemic issues in police-Indigenous relations, including inadequate oversight and cultural insensitivity. The inquiry's 2004 report recommended 33 reforms, including enhanced accountability mechanisms, better training on Indigenous issues, and improved complaint processes under The Police Act, 1990, prompting the service to establish professional standards units and Aboriginal liaison positions to address underlying factors like poverty and marginalization. Subsequent reforms emphasized community-oriented policing, with the service renamed the Saskatoon Police Service in 1992 to reflect a shift toward service delivery, including the creation of community police stations and annual reports on school-based initiatives. In response to ongoing concerns over Indigenous overrepresentation in custody deaths—linked to four freezing incidents between 1990 and 2000—the service implemented an Equity and Cultural Engagement Unit to tackle root causes such as and , alongside an employment equity plan initiated around 2002 to boost diversity in hiring. By 2023, this evolved into a comprehensive for , featuring partnerships with Indigenous communities, targeted of Indigenous officers, and public education on procedures, though workforce diversity gains remained modest, with equity group representation at approximately 50% of positions by 2022. Technological and operational updates included a body-worn camera pilot launched in April 2022 with 40 frontline officers, expanded to 80 by 2023, aimed at enhancing transparency, evidence collection, and amid public demands post-inquiry. trends showed declines in both violent and offences since 2009, aligning with national patterns from the onward, but recent years highlighted shifts like rising weapon use and social disorder calls driven by drug prevalence and crises. Contemporary challenges include staffing shortages, with the service facing recruitment hurdles exacerbated by a rejected 2025 proposal for in-house training due to provincial capacity limits, amid broader pressures from complex calls involving and . In August 2025, an internal scandal erupted over an off-duty involving allegations of assaults among officers and the presence of an biker affiliate, resulting in five suspensions, one termination, and ongoing investigations, underscoring ongoing issues in professional conduct and morale. Additional funding of $7.7 million in 2024 supported community safety initiatives, but Chief Cameron McBride noted persistent strains from evolving crime complexities, including a 2025 diversity audit to refine equity policies.

Organization and Operations

Command Structure and Divisions

The Saskatoon Police Service maintains a hierarchical command structure, with the at the top, supported by deputy chiefs and operational commanders. Cameron McBride serves as , appointed on May 16, 2024, after 27 years of service within the organization; he oversees approximately 768 employees, including 498 constables, 99 special constables, 150 civilians, and 21 executive officers. The directs strategic priorities, including community relations, employee wellness, and coordination of units such as patrol, criminal investigations, and . Two Deputy Chiefs report directly to the Chief, dividing oversight into operational and support functions. Darren Pringle, appointed Deputy Chief of Operations in June 2024 with 25 years of service, manages frontline policing initiatives, including reorganization of the Patrol Bureau to enhance community alignment, development of the Alternative Response Officer program, and special teams like the Public Safety Unit, Explosive Disposal Unit, and Tactical Support Unit. Dave Haye, appointed Deputy Chief of Support Services in June 2024 following 39 years with the service and a prior interim Chief role, handles administrative and logistical elements. Lower ranks include superintendents, inspectors, staff sergeants, sergeants, and constables, with inspectors typically commanding patrol platoons or support divisions. Key operational divisions include the Bureau under Operations, comprising four citywide platoons led by two (each overseeing two platoons) for call response, crime investigation, and preventive ; it is augmented by dedicated units such as Air Support, Bike , Canine Services, Services, Officers, Vulnerable Persons Response (including the P.A.C.T. team), and Alternative Response Officers. The Support Division, commanded by an , focuses on community liaison with business districts, committees, and associations. Criminal Investigations handles major cases, including those from specialized teams like Guns and Gangs and the Drug Unit, while Special Uniform Operations encompasses tactical and responses. Support Services encompass corporate , communications, and community engagement divisions, including equity and cultural units, cadets programs, and advisory committees.

Specialized Units and Services

The Saskatoon Police Service operates specialized units within its Uniform Support Section to address high-risk scenarios, providing targeted capabilities beyond standard functions. These units, overseen by an inspector and , are deployed as needed and include personnel with specialized to enhance public safety and operational effectiveness. Tactical Support Unit (TSU) members undergo rigorous selection testing and ongoing to handle scenarios such as search warrants, situations, and armed containment. Equipped with a bulletproof armored , the unit prioritizes scene security and safety for the public, officers, and suspects, often operating in the background before transferring incidents to investigators. The Canine Unit consists of 10 police service dogs paired with handlers, including nine general duty teams (four dual-purposed for narcotics detection), one explosive detection team, and one tactical team, ensuring 24/7 availability. Dogs, typically German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois selected for drive, curiosity, and fearlessness, are trained to track suspects, conduct searches in varied environments, and assist in high-risk containments, with handlers required to demonstrate physical fitness and animal-handling proficiency. Air Support Unit staffing includes six officers, with each shift featuring one commercially licensed pilot and one tactical operating a equipped with an camera and GPS mapping system, the latter upgraded in 2017 via provincial civil forfeiture funding. Primary roles encompass supporting ground pursuits beyond , monitoring high-risk areas during late-night patrols, tracking vehicles or individuals via heat signatures, and aiding fire monitoring for the Fire Department, contributing to at least a 10% reduction in targeted crime rates. Additional specialized capabilities include the Explosive Disposal Unit, where officers receive dedicated training to manage explosive incidents, and the Technological Crime Unit under the Criminal Intelligence Section, which performs on devices like computers and mobiles to extract evidence, responding to support requests across the service. Patrol operations receive further augmentation from the Bike Unit for enhanced mobility and community engagement in dense areas, and the Traffic Unit for enforcement, collision investigations, and road safety initiatives.

International Involvement

The Saskatoon Police Service has facilitated the deployment of its officers to international peacekeeping and capacity-building missions, primarily through volunteer programs coordinated with federal entities like Canadian . Since 2000, at least 11 SPS officers have participated in such overseas assignments, contributing to police training and stabilization efforts in conflict-affected regions. Notable deployments include multiple assignments to under the Police Task Force-Iraq Training mission. Sergeant Erin Coates, a 19-year SPS veteran, served a one-year term starting in 2018 as Canada's first female in , where she trained local forces, including female recruits, on policing techniques amid ongoing security challenges. Similarly, Nolan Berg completed a training mission in in 2019, focusing on rebuilding the national police structure. Inspector Lorne Constantinoff contributed to logistical and training support during his 2018 deployment. In early 2020, two SPS officers remained active in the mission when it was temporarily suspended due to regional instability, each with approximately nine months left in their terms. SPS officers have also deployed to East Timor, , and for operations, supporting local development and international stability efforts, as recognized in departmental commemorations on National Peacekeepers' Day. These missions align with Canada's broader contributions to multilateral policing initiatives, where municipal officers provide specialized expertise drawn from domestic experience. In addition to deployments, the SPS engages in international investigative cooperation, particularly through the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit. In 2025, this unit, involving SPS personnel, participated in Operation Stream, a Europol-coordinated global effort targeting the Kidflix platform—a major child sexual exploitation network with nearly two million users. The operation led to 79 arrests worldwide and the identification of over 14,000 suspects; in Saskatchewan, it resulted in the arrest of John Tamosiunis, a 75-year-old resident charged with two counts of possession of . Such collaborations enable the SPS to address transnational crimes by sharing intelligence and executing local actions in support of international leads.

Leadership and Personnel

Chiefs of Police

The Saskatoon Police Service has been led by a series of chiefs since its formal establishment in , with the position overseeing operational command, policy implementation, and strategies. Early chiefs focused on basic law enforcement amid the city's growth from a frontier settlement, while later leaders navigated expansions in force size, technological advancements, and responses to social challenges such as urban crime waves and indigenous community relations. The chief is appointed by the Saskatoon Board of Police Commissioners, often from internal promotions or external hires with extensive experience.

Recent transitions, including Sabo's admission of historical practices like peripheral dumping of intoxicated individuals in 2003 and Weighill's 11-year tenure emphasizing , reflect efforts to address past criticisms amid evolving public expectations. McBride, a 27-year SPS , assumed the role on May 16, 2024, following Cooper's retirement, with a focus on operational integrity and crisis response.

Recruitment, Training, and Workforce Composition

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) employs a multi-phase recruitment process for positions, beginning with mandatory testing that includes a written examination consisting of 74 questions via the assessment and a physical abilities evaluation through the Police Officers Physical Abilities Test (POPAT). Applicants must then submit a detailed application package, including a information form, personal disclosure form, and supporting documents, followed by a series of interviews comprising preliminary screening, examination, psychological assessment, and a final panel . Minimum eligibility requirements include being at least 18 years old, holding Canadian citizenship or , possessing a or equivalent (with post-secondary education preferred), maintaining a valid unrestricted with a clean driving record for at least one year, meeting visual acuity standards correctable to 20/20 or 20/30, demonstrating , having no criminal convictions (pardons accepted), and holding Standard and CPR certification. Successful candidates receive a job offer that includes 20 weeks of paid basic training at the Saskatchewan Police College in Regina, followed by field training under the supervision of an experienced officer. This curriculum covers core policing skills, legal knowledge, firearms proficiency, defensive tactics, and , with the college serving as the primary training provider for municipal recruits across . Ongoing professional development for serving officers includes in-service courses on topics such as and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), often coordinated with the college. The SPS maintains state-of-the-art internal facilities, including a fitness center, gymnasium, and firearms range, to support physical preparedness and specialized skills maintenance. As of 2024, the SPS workforce totals 768 employees, comprising 519 sworn officers (including 21 in executive roles and 498 constables), 99 special constables, and 150 civilian staff. Demographic data indicate that, as of the end of 2021, 43.3% of total employees (306 individuals) were female, and 10% self-identified as Indigenous, reflecting proportions above the municipal average for Indigenous representation but with ongoing EDI initiatives aimed at further diversifying hires amid declining applicant pools. Visible minority representation stood at 5.6% (39 employees) as of December 2017, with subsequent efforts including targeted recruitment and an external EDI audit in 2023 to address gaps relative to city demographics. The service has prioritized cultural safety training and partnerships with Indigenous and immigrant communities to enhance workforce inclusivity, though specific sworn-officer breakdowns by gender or ethnicity remain limited in public reporting.

Facilities and Infrastructure

Headquarters and Patrol Stations

The Saskatoon Police Service headquarters is situated at 76 25th Street East, , , S7K 3P9. The facility officially opened on July 16, 2014, consolidating operations previously conducted across nine satellite locations into a single, modern structure designed to serve for approximately 50 years. This four-storey building spans about 393,000 square feet and houses over 600 sworn officers and civilian staff, along with more than 50 specialized police units. Key infrastructure includes a detention centre with 50 cells, a communications , a firearms training range, secure underground and above-ground for fleet vehicles, forensics laboratories, a property and evidence storage facility, a canine unit, a gymnasium, and public-facing services such as a service centre for checks and victim support. The building achieved Silver certification in 2016, incorporating energy-efficient design elements. Patrol operations, which form the frontline response to calls for service and criminal investigations, are centralized at the . The service maintains four platoons, each commanded by an inspector, responsible for city-wide coverage without dedicated substations; officers deploy directly from the main facility to address community needs. The lobby and service centre operate from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily, facilitating public access for non-emergency matters.

Training and Support Facilities

The Saskatoon Police Service's primary training and support facilities are integrated into its at 76 25th Street East, which officially opened on July 16, 2014, after replacing a structure that had undergone multiple renovations. This four-storey, 393,000-square-foot facility accommodates over 600 sworn and civilian members and incorporates specialized infrastructure designed to support operational readiness for approximately 50 years. Key training assets include a dedicated firearms range used for weapons qualification, tactical exercises, and marksmanship instruction. The building also houses the Bruce Gordon Physical Fitness Centre, a gymnasium renamed on June 29, 2017, in honor of a distinguished former officer facing terminal illness, serving physical conditioning, recruit preparation, and recreational needs. A separate fitness centre complements these resources, enabling ongoing physical training aligned with service standards such as the Police Officer Physical Abilities Test (POPAT). While in-house facilities support specialized and , initial recruit training occurs externally at the Saskatchewan Police College in Regina, spanning 20 weeks of paid basic instruction followed by field mentoring upon return. Units like the Tactical Support Unit leverage headquarters amenities for rigorous selection testing and advanced scenario-based drills. These provisions emphasize practical, hands-on development amid the service's emphasis on career-long proficiency across 54 specialized roles.

Performance and Impact

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) reports crime data through its annual summaries, derived from the Saskatoon Records Management System, with figures subject to revision as investigations progress. According to Statistics Canada, Saskatoon's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) Crime Severity Index (CSI)—which weights serious crimes more heavily—stood at 106.7 in 2024, a decrease of approximately 9% from 2023, aligning with a national decline driven primarily by reductions in non-violent offences. Despite this, Saskatoon ranked eighth among 41 Canadian CMAs for CSI in 2023, indicating persistently elevated severity compared to most urban areas, a position improved from fifth in 2019 but still among the highest. Violent crimes against the person, including assaults, robberies, and sexual violations, have shown an upward trend in recent years. SPS recorded 4,131 such incidents in 2022, rising to 4,435 in 2023 (a 7.5% increase) and 4,765 in 2024 (a further 7.4% rise), exceeding the five-year average of around 4,075. Assaults numbered 2,494 in 2022, 2,694 in 2023, and 2,907 in 2024, while robberies increased from 364 to 438 to 521 over the same period. Homicides remained stable but elevated, with 12 in both 2022 and 2023, and 14 in 2024, consistent with the five-year average of 13. Incidents involving , often linked to violent encounters, surged from 180 in 2022 to 265 in 2023 and 367 in 2024. Property crimes exhibited volatility, peaking in 2023 before declining. Total incidents reached 16,820 in 2022, 17,974 in 2023 (a 6.9% increase), and fell to 16,471 in 2024 (an 8.3% drop from 2023), near the five-year average of 16,393. thefts hovered around 1,000-1,100 annually (1,102 in 2022, 1,078 in 2023, 863 in 2024), while cases edged up slightly to 2,228 in 2023 before dipping to 2,113 in 2024. Dispatched calls for service also rose steadily, from lower volumes pre-2023 to 98,783 in 2023 and 105,157 in 2024 (a 6.5% increase), dominated by disturbances, domestics, and welfare checks.

These patterns reflect broader provincial dynamics, where Saskatchewan's CSI increased 23% from 2014 to 2024 despite the recent dip, underscoring localized pressures from factors like drug-related violence and . SPS attributes some upticks to enhanced reporting and proactive enforcement, such as seizures of firearms (734 in 2023, up from 634 in 2022) and drugs during targeted operations.

Operational Effectiveness and Achievements

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) has achieved notable operational successes through specialized crime disruption efforts, including the execution of search warrants by its Crime Reduction Team (CRT) in high-risk areas. On August 14, 2025, CRT investigators, assisted by and Tactical Support Units, seized controlled substances and firearms during operations in the 100 block of Willis Crescent, resulting in multiple drug-related charges against involved parties. High-visibility projects targeting criminal hotspots yielded over 150 arrests between June 10 and 21, 2025, focusing on disrupting organized and repeat offenses to enhance public safety. Retail crime initiatives have effectively reduced offender and harm to businesses. In August 2025, retail blitz operations apprehended violent and repeat shoplifters, prioritizing the removal of high-risk individuals from commercial zones to mitigate threats to employees and patrons. Similarly, Project in May 2025 involved coordinated two-day blitzes on Confederation Drive, leading to arrests and charges for and related crimes. The SPS's participation in the provincially mandated Integrated Crime Reduction Team (ICRT), comprising SPS and RCMP investigators, targets serious offenses such as trafficking and , contributing to broader seizure outcomes including firearms and narcotics. Personnel achievements underscore tactical proficiency, with SPS officers earning the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police Valor Award in 2023 for actions demonstrating exceptional bravery in operational contexts. The Economic Crime Section received the Law Enforcement Award of Excellence in 2016 for superior counterfeit currency investigations and deterrence. In 2025, the SPS Communications D Platoon was awarded the Sask911 Telecommunicator Teamwork of the Year for coordinated emergency response effectiveness. Provincial recognitions, such as MADD Canada's Van de Vorst Family Awards and challenge coins, have been granted to SPS members for impaired driving enforcement, with gold-level honors for officers laying 17 or more charges annually as of 2023.

Public Perception and Community Relations

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) assesses public perception through independent surveys, revealing generally positive but varied views on and trust. In the 2025 Advanis survey of 424 residents conducted in May-June, 56 percent rated overall SPS service as excellent or good, while 15 percent rated it poor or very poor; this placed SPS ratings above the 46 percent national average for similar-sized services but highlighted room for improvement in perceptions of equity, with only 46 percent agreeing treatment is fair across groups. The same survey found 63 percent of respondents believed SPS effectively resolves violent crimes and 62 percent viewed response times as quick, alongside 83 percent expressing a duty to cooperate with police as witnesses or during stops. Earlier Insightrix surveys showed higher satisfaction levels, such as 87 percent in 2021—down from 93 percent in 2017 and the lowest since 2008—amid broader national declines in police trust post-2020. Community victimization experiences influence perceptions, with 33 percent of 2025 survey respondents reporting a victim in the prior year, though incidents were reported only about 50 percent of the time; half also indicated feeling safer upon seeing officers patrolling neighborhoods. SPS attributes some perceptual gaps to underreporting and visibility challenges, addressing them via targeted operations like Project Clampdown on auto theft. To enhance relations, SPS maintains a Division as a direct liaison for residents, councillors, and associations, incorporating resource officers and neighborhood beat teams for proactive presence. The Equity and Cultural Engagement Unit facilitates programs including the Cadet Orientation Police Studies (C.O.P.S.) for youth exposure to policing and Diversity Discovery events to promote intercultural dialogue and partnerships with First Nations, , and immigrant groups. Indigenous-specific efforts feature an advisory circle of community leaders to guide on relational issues and joint initiatives for . Additional programs include the Community Police Academy, offering civilians hands-on insights into operations to demystify policing, and a volunteer auxiliary to support non-emergency tasks while building resident-police familiarity. These align with SPS's 2025 Strategic Plan emphasis on collaboration to address root causes of disorder, though survey data suggests ongoing challenges in equitable perceptions persist despite such outreach.

Controversies and Criticisms

Freezing Deaths and Alleged Starlight Tours

In the late and early , several Indigenous individuals were found frozen to death in remote areas outside during severe winter conditions, prompting allegations that (SPS) officers engaged in a practice known as " tours," whereby intoxicated persons—disproportionately Indigenous men—were transported to city outskirts and abandoned to find their own way back, often resulting in . The term "starlight tour" emerged from community accounts and media reports describing such drops as a means of offloading public inebriates without formal processing, though SPS has denied any official policy endorsing the practice. Official inquiries revealed deficiencies in SPS investigations and record-keeping but found insufficient direct evidence to substantiate claims of a systematic, department-wide operation, attributing confirmed instances to individual officer misconduct amid broader tensions in police-Indigenous relations. The earliest prominent case involved , a 17-year-old youth, whose body was discovered on November 25, 1990, in Saskatoon's north industrial area, partially clothed and missing one shoe, with ruled as the cause of death. Stonechild had been arrested earlier that evening for and was last seen alive around midnight on November 24 in the company of two SPS officers, Constable and Sergeant Stewart Pringle, near a police holding center; the officers claimed to have released him shortly after but provided inconsistent accounts of the subsequent hours. The initial SPS investigation, concluded on December 5, 1990, deemed the death accidental with no foul play, despite visible injuries noted on the body and family concerns; police files on Stonechild's belongings were later destroyed without family notification. A 2003 Commission of into Stonechild's death, led by Justice , criticized SPS for a "deficient" probe marred by lost notes, unpreserved , and failure to interview key witnesses promptly, concluding it was "more likely than not" that Stonechild was in police custody or abandoned by officers shortly before dying, though destroyed records prevented definitive proof. The highlighted systemic issues, including poor handling of Indigenous family complaints and a culture of non-disclosure within SPS, but recommended no criminal charges due to evidentiary gaps; O'Brien and Pringle faced internal discipline, with O'Brien later involved in the 2000 incidents. No broader linked Stonechild's case directly to a pattern at the time, though it fueled later scrutiny of freezing deaths. The 2000 cluster intensified allegations after Darrell Night, a Cree man, reported on January 28 that SPS Constables Kyle Schumacher and Darren Montour picked him up for public intoxication, drove him five kilometers outside the city in -22°C weather, and abandoned him clad only in a T-shirt and jeans; Night survived by flagging down a passing vehicle. The next day, January 29, the shirtless body of Rodney Naistus, a 25-year-old Indigenous man with alcohol in his system, was found frozen near the Queen Elizabeth Power Station in the same area; Lawrence Wegner's body, also Indigenous and hypothermic, was discovered on February 1 nearby. An RCMP task force investigated, charging Schumacher and Montour with unlawful confinement in Night's case—they resigned amid the probe—but investigations into Naistus and Wegner's deaths yielded inconclusive results, with no forensic evidence (such as tire tracks or DNA) tying SPS vehicles to the scenes, and autopsies confirming hypothermia without proving transport. SPS acknowledged Night's abandonment as , leading to officer resignations and reviews on handling intoxicated persons, but maintained no evidence supported starlight tours causing the 2000 fatalities, attributing them potentially to voluntary wandering or other factors common in alcohol-related cases. Community advocates and some media outlets, citing disproportionate Indigenous victims among Saskatoon's freezing deaths (at least five documented in the period), argued for a rooted in racial bias, though official reports emphasized investigative lapses over proven ; the government declined a full into all cases, citing resource constraints and evidentiary limits. These events strained SPS-Indigenous relations, prompting calls for better oversight, though no officers were convicted in the deaths, underscoring challenges in proving causation amid harsh winters and urban alcohol issues.

Internal Misconduct and Accountability Issues

In September 2024, five Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) officers were suspended with pay following reports of an off-duty gathering that included allegations of a physical on a officer by a member of the response team, as well as the invitation of an outlaw motorcycle gang member, which reportedly jeopardized undercover police operations. The incident prompted both internal Professional Standards investigations and an external probe by the Serious Incident Response Team into potential criminal matters. Following a year-long internal review under the Police Act, SPS dismissed three of the suspended officers on September 3, 2025—a with nine years of service, another with ten years, and a with two years—deeming their actions demonstrated a lack of fitness for continued service and integrity. SPS Chief Cameron McBride stated the dismissals underscored the force's commitment to high standards of accountability, with the remaining two officers returning to restricted duties pending further review. The fired officers, through their legal representation, announced plans to the decisions via independent disciplinary hearings, arguing the terminations were premature. During one such hearing in 2025, McBride testified regarding the case of dismissed Robbie Taylor. In a separate incident reported in September 2024, three SPS officers faced potential disciplinary action after an revealed unauthorized access to the police database for personal reasons, constituting a breach of privacy protocols. SPS maintains a Professional Standards unit dedicated to investigating public complaints and internal misconduct, with processes governed by provincial regulations that include appeals to independent panels. These cases highlight ongoing efforts to enforce accountability, though public and internal scrutiny has focused on the timelines of investigations and the balance between off-duty conduct and professional standards.

Responses to Broader Social Disorder

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) has identified "social disorder" as a primary factor driving a surge in calls for service, encompassing issues such as crises, , , and substance abuse-related disturbances. In 2025, Police Chief Cameron McBride reported that approximately 43% of all police calls relate to social disorder, contributing to a notable increase in overall service demands. This trend aligns with earlier observations, including a 2020 report indicating rising percentages of calls tied to and social disorder annually. SPS attributes these increases to broader societal challenges, including post-pandemic effects and urban vulnerabilities in , a city with a significant Indigenous population facing disproportionate social inequities. To address these, SPS employs specialized response teams and community-oriented strategies. The Police and Crisis Team (PACT), which pairs uniformed officers with professionals, diverts individuals in to appropriate services rather than immediate or hospitalization, aiming to reduce in non-violent encounters. Established prior to 2020, PACT has expanded amid rising calls, with officers receiving enhanced training in de-escalation and sensitivity to social factors like . Additionally, the Equity and Cultural Engagement Unit focuses on building trust with Indigenous communities, facilitating dialogues and outreach to mitigate disorder linked to historical inequities, though critics note persistent gaps in outcomes for repeat offenders. SPS also integrates alternatives to traditional policing, such as referral services through Area Response Officers, who handle low-level disorder with deterrence and partnerships, supported by provincial of $6.8 million in 2024-25 for initiatives. In managing episodic unrest, such as protests, SPS emphasizes policing behavior over ideology, ensuring rights while enforcing laws against disruptions. During 2021 anti-restriction rallies amid orders, officers increased patrols and issued charges for violations like , including a July 2025 incident where a protester faced charges for damaging property during a demonstration. Guidelines stress designated protest areas to avoid interference with essential services, with post-event reviews for accountability, as seen in a 2017 examination of a at a premier's dinner. Chief McBride has advocated a "balanced approach" of for those in crisis alongside firm enforcement, adapting to cultural shifts in policing where officers view roles as temporary, necessitating flexible recruitment and training. These responses have coincided with a 9.6% rise in reported violent crimes in early , prompting calls for expanded models beyond policing alone.
