Sobering reminder that danger is present for our staff anytime, even on a Thursday morning. Our Patrol Service Dogs provide an incredible service in keeping our community and our officers safe. Warm thoughts for Ralph and his veteran partner for a speedy recovery.
Our K9s give a lot in service to the humans of our community. In making an arrest of a man accused of sexually assaulting a 24 year-old woman, PSD Ralph was seriously injured, but he will recover.

No apology needed. This is a good news story, shows your neighbourhood cares about each other enough to call in when something doesn’t seem right. Also nice to respond to a call with a “positive” ending! (And, love that it’s finally warm enough the kids CAN play ball!)
A very important healing pipe ceremony and feast today in four different Regina locations, offering prayers for the 215 children discovered recently at the site of a residential school. Today’s ceremonies signalled our continued community commitment towards reconciliation.
I have to say, my day was amazing because of the spirit and energy that Maddy displayed!! With young leaders like this, the future of our community looks bright!(PS: if you have any questions about LOL Dolls, just ask! I received the full education today!)
