FUNDING FOR SASKATOON POLICE CENTRAL DIVISION STATION

Released on June 28, 2002

The Saskatoon Police Service will receive $145,000 from the Province's

Centenary Fund toward the development of the Central Division Station

Project.



Premier Lorne Calvert, made the announcement today at a celebration marking

the launch of the project.



"The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to support this new facility,"

Calvert said. "The new Central Division Station and community policing

strategy will contribute significantly to the safety and well-being of the

people of Saskatoon."



The former Little Chief Gas Station will be renovated to accommodate walk-

in requests for police service. As well, the facility will provide a small

meeting room and office space for Community Liaison Officers. These

officers are part of a community policing strategy that provides a critical

link between the police and the community.



"This new satellite police station speaks to our commitment to the

community policing model," Saskatoon Mayor Jim Maddin said. "The enhanced

presence will bring the police closer to the citizens they serve."



"I am very pleased the government has chosen to support our Community

Policing storefront here in Riversdale," Police Chief Russell Sabo

said. "As we move forward on our community policing initiatives, the

addition of this community station will help us to better meet the needs of

the citizens of our city and help reunite the police and the community."



The $325,000 project will be cost shared by the City of Saskatoon, the

Saskatoon Police Service and the province. The Centenary Fund was

established to leave a legacy of Saskatchewan's centennial for future

generations. Leading up to the centennial celebrations in 2005, the

government is funding projects that are of provincial or regional interest

and develop municipal infrastructure.
