The message from Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, Commanding Officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, during National Police Week, is that there are many things to be proud of.  As just one example, steps continue towards Reconciliation with the Reconciliation Committee and starting the Indigenous Recruiting Unit.

But there have also been a number of challenges and tragedies within the Division in the last year. Blackmore says they have endured the devastating loss of colleagues across the country killed in the line of duty: complex gang and drug-related investigations that are compounded by a number of other issues; and the mass casualty homicides on the James Smith Cree Nation and in Weldon.

She thanks the frontlines and behind the scenes employees for their work and commitment.
