The Government of Saskatchewan has launched a pilot program to help victims of crime collect restitution from offenders. The voluntary Restitution Civil Enforcement Program (RCEP), the first program of its kind in Canada, is being run by the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General as a six-month pilot project in the Regina and Yorkton areas. Restitution is compensation that the courts have ordered paid to an individual or business that has been the victim of a crime.
"We believe this program will help victims of crime, while sending a strong message to offenders," Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan said. "The goal is to get victims the money they're entitled to, according to a court order."
Notices offering assistance in collecting court-ordered restitution are being sent out to eligible victims of crime in Regina and Yorkton. Once victims register their restitution orders with the Ministry's Fine Collection Branch, collection officers will be assigned to help collect unpaid restitution. Enforcement may include garnishment of wages, seizure of property or reporting of offenders to credit bureaus.
"Being a victim of crime is a traumatic enough experience," Morgan said. "Our government wants to ensure Saskatchewan people are not victimized a second time by offenders who are unwilling to comply with the restitution orders handed down by the courts."
The pilot program will run until the end of April, 2010, at which time a decision will be made whether to implement RCEP province-wide.
