A NEW APPROACH TO REDUCING CRIME

Released on September 15, 2011

The province has released Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime a new, integrated approach to crime reduction in Saskatchewan.

"Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime is the result of collaboration between several ministries and the province's largest police services," Corrections, Public Safety and Policing Minister D.F. (Yogi) Huyghebaert said. "This collaboration clearly revealed that we cannot arrest our way out of the challenge of crime in Saskatchewan; that law enforcement must work together with prevention and early intervention if we are to find lasting, long term crime reduction solutions. Partnerships and leadership at all levels will be necessary."

"With the multitude of challenges facing us no one agency alone can enhance community safety to the point of public expectation," Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police Chief President Dale McFee said. "But, by using intervention and prevention in collaboration with partner agencies we will significantly enhance our chances of success."

The proposed next steps in the Building Partnerships to Reduce Crime framework include better integration of government services; building on the strengths of communities, individuals and families; continuing to support police officers and the victims of crime; and targeting services to individuals and families with the highest needs and those who are at risk of coming in conflict with the law.

"The reduction of crime is everyone's responsibility," Commanding Officer RCMP ‘F' Division Assistant Commissioner Russ Mirasty said. "This framework will ensure that we will work in a more co-operative and collaborative manner to achieve our goal of reducing crime and making our communities safer."

Government will continue to work with its partners, community leaders and the public to develop new partnerships and approaches to crime reduction.
