Descriptiontext

The Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) is the statutory municipal police service for the City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, delivering law enforcement, crime prevention, victim services, traffic enforcement, and community safety programs to local residents, businesses, and visitors. The force is overseen by the Saskatoon Board of Police Commissioners and operates with 501-1,000 personnel under Chief Cameron McBride. Service delivery spans 911 emergency dispatch, a non-emergency callback unit reachable at 306-975-8300, a 7-day Service Centre at headquarters, an online reporting system for qualifying incidents, and Crime Stoppers anonymous tip intake.

Operational capabilities are organized into specialized units including Patrol (with bike, foot, and traffic components), Investigative Services (Major Crime, Economic Crime, General Investigations, Hate Crimes, Interpersonal Violence with Child Abuse, Internet Child Exploitation, Domestic Violence, Sex Crime, and VICE/Human Trafficking subunits), Forensic Identification, Street Crime, the Vulnerable Persons Unit (including the Police and Crisis Team paired with healthcare professionals), the Air Support Unit (infrared-equipped aircraft), Canine, Tactical Support, Explosive Disposal, and Public Safety Units, and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (drone) program. Digital forensics are conducted through Project Searchlight using Cellebrite for mobile device extraction. The Internet Child Exploitation Unit employs a detection service dog ('Taffy') trained to locate electronic storage devices during searches.

SPS is funded through the City of Saskatoon municipal budget via taxation rather than commercial revenue. Limited user-pay fees apply for one-time criminal record checks, annual alarm system permits, and per-event special duty policing. Citizen-facing digital products include the Online Reporting System, Crime Map, Missing Persons database, Security Camera Registry, Vulnerable Person Registry, Bicycle Registration (OBR), Body-Worn Camera program information, and Restorative Justice Programs. The organization also engages the public via social media, the SPS Podcast ('Deals, Debts, & Death'), the Community Police Academy, and the Strategic Plan 2025 community consultation process.
