Saskatchewan RCMP say, in the midst of the COVID crisis, detachments will remain open to the public and the officers will continue to be out in the communities. But, they are suspending criminal record checks, with the exception of employment checks at all detachments. They are stepping up cleaning measure at both detachments and police vehicles. When members of the public call in to report a crime, they will be asked:

Are you or any member of your residence ill?

Have you or any member of your residence had contact with a probable or confirmed case of COVID-19?

This is to ensure that officers take appropriate measures to reduce the risk of transmission.
