By Carol Thomson May 9, 2022 | 5:09 PM

In the week beginning May 2nd, Saskatchewan RCMP received 6,202 calls for service. Sixty-five of those were to report impaired drivers through the RID program, where you can call 911 to report a driver you believe is impaired. There were 183 assaults, six aggravated assaults and 52 assaults with a weapon or causing bodily harm. The RCMP also report 1630 speeding offences. In 1,027 of them fines were issued and in 603 incidents warnings were given.

These statistics come from a new initiative from the Saskatchewan RCMP, issuing comprehensive weekly reports summarizing the calls for service for the more than 1,300 RCMP officers responding across the province.

Reports of intimate partner and family violence
  • Time period reported is quarterly.
  • Data represents number of victims, as there may be more than one victim on a specific investigative file. An individual victimized more than once in a timeframe would be counted more than once. Due to common relationship types in intimate and family violence categories, totals should not be combined.
  • Intimate partner refers to violence committed by spouses (legally married, separated, divorced and common-law), current and former dating partner, or someone with whom the victim was in another type of intimate relationship.
  • Family violence refers to violence committed by spouses (legally married, separated, divorced and common-law), parents (biological, step, adoptive and foster), children (biological, step, adopted and foster), siblings (biological, step, half, adopted and foster) and extended family members (grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and in-laws).
