SCAN officers use civil enforcement processes to target properties, rather than people, to shut down illegal activities without laying criminal charges.
They frequently respond to complaints of suspected drug and gang activity, and work with owners and landlords to end criminal activities through enforcement actions, such as warnings, evictions and community safety orders.
As part of their duty, SCAN officers submit community safety order applications to the courts and enforce orders that are approved. Through these measures, SCAN officers help to better ensure the safety and security of Saskatchewan’s neighbourhoods, communities and residents.
