SIRT's mandate is to increase public confidence in Saskatchewan's police services by ensuring accountability and transparency. SIRT's mandate includes both on-duty and off-duty actions of municipal police officers, RCMP and special constables including Conservation Officers and Highway Patrol Officer. As an independent, civilian-led organization, SIRT will ensure that all investigations are impartial and conducted to the same standard as any Criminal Code investigation.
All SIRT investigations are overseen by a civilian executive director, who is empowered to appoint investigators and gather other resources necessary to achieve SIRT's mandate.
