Community Safety Model Launched in Saskatoon

Released on November 21, 2014

Saskatoon and area residents will be safer with an annual investment of $475,000 from Corrections and Policing to support the province’s second regional Centre of Responsibility (COR).

The new COR and the recently launched Saskatoon Hub make up Community Mobilization Saskatoon, a collaborative approach for addressing community safety and wellness.

“This made in Saskatchewan solution aims to stop crime and victimization before it starts,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said.  “This model has seen great success in Prince Albert, and we’re excited to see it expand across the province.  In 2012, Prince Albert saw a reduction in violent crime 29.8 per cent compared to 7.7 per cent for the province.”

While the Hub provides immediate support to at-risk families, the COR will focus on long-term goals and initiatives.  It will be staffed by a variety of human service experts who will analyze trends, measure and report on outcomes achieved by the Saskatoon Hub.  This information will provide recommendations on how to better address crime and victimization in Saskatoon and across the province.

“Our team of human service providers will be more effective in addressing the social contributors of crime and wellness within the Saskatoon area,” Saskatoon Police Chief Clive Weighill said.  “The COR will provide a valuable component to find gaps, analyse indicators and quantify results.”

Community Mobilization Saskatoon consists of the ministries of Corrections and Policing and Social Services, the Saskatoon Regional Intersectoral Committee, RCMP, the City of Saskatoon, the Saskatoon Health Region, the Saskatoon Tribal Council, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, Saskatoon Public Schools, the Safe Streets Commission, United Way, the Saskatoon Police Service and Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services.

Expansion of the CORs and Hubs is part of the Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime initiative, which is a key component of the Government of Saskatchewan’s Child and Family Agenda.
