By Carol Thomson Oct 17, 2022 | 3:21 PM

The Saskatchewan RCMP received 6,728 calls for service in the past week, which is neither the highest number nor the lowest since the weekly reports began last spring. These numbers don’t include calls for service directly to local RCMP detachments. RCMP officers responded to 8,513 in the week of August 29th to September 4th and to 1,809 in the last week of July.

In the past week, RCMP responded to two homicides for a total of 32 since the beginning of the year. One more statistic for the road: not including automated speed enforcement fines issued, Saskatchewan RCMP dealt with 1,357 speeding offences.

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 relationships 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).
