Read moreHave you ever wondered how our police officers stay prepared for the challenges they face every day? Imagine this: a state-of-the-art training facility right here in Regina, equipped with the latest firearms technology. Well, it’s becoming a reality!
Thanks to over $280,000 from the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund, the Regina Police Service is set to renovate its indoor firearms range. This is not just about modernizing a building; it’s about creating a safer Saskatchewan for everyone.
And get this: this funding isn't only going towards the police. An equal amount will also support the Victims’ Fund, helping those impacted by crime. It's a win-win! Michael Weger, Legislative Secretary for the Minister of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety, emphasized the importance of updated training, saying, ‘This is one of the first steps in building safe communities for Saskatchewan residents and families.’
The renovations will ensure that countless law enforcement personnel, including recruits from all corners of Saskatchewan, receive top-notch training. Picture officers from places like Moose Jaw and Saskatoon coming together, ready to learn with the best resources available.
But here's the thing: crime is evolving, and so must our responses. As Deputy Chief Trent Stevely puts it, “Ongoing, relevant training is essential to keeping both the public and our officers safe.” With this funding, every officer training at the revamped range will be equipped with the skills necessary for today’s challenges.
Since the fund's inception in 2009, it has put back over $10 million into Saskatchewan communities! The distribution of these funds exemplifies a commitment to enhancing public safety and helping those in need.
So, the next time you hear about a new initiative for community safety, remember that it's all about building a brighter, safer future. Let’s celebrate this progress and stay hopeful for what’s yet to come!
