The five CSO’s enrolled in 6-weeks of training from May 2nd-June 10th, 2022 at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Prince Albert, SK. They completed in-person and virtual lessons and took part in tactical training.

Please join us in welcoming our new recruits! 

Heather Brittain (Whitecap)

Lyndon Littlecrow (Whitecap)

Keigan Yuzicappi (Whitecap)

Neil Crane (Muskoday)

Bradley Pechawis (Mistawasis) 

The new recruits will observe and report until completing their accredidation in July. 

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY SAFETY OFFICER (CSO)?

A CSO will provide additional uniformed presence and patrol in WDFN. They can investigate low-risk incidents (ex. property theft) and engage in the enforcement of provincial laws and/or WDFN bylaws. They may also work with prevention-based programs, such as schools or with community groups.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RCMP?

CSO’s and the RCMP will work together. When CSO’s deal with low-risk incidents, the RCMP will have more time to focus on serious criminal investigations.

CAN CSO’s PULL YOU OVER?

Yes, CSO’s can pull you over when they are in uniform.

CAN CSO’s ARREST YOU?

CSO’s have the authority to make arrests under certain provincial legislation.

DO CSO’s CARRY WEAPONS?

CSO’s do not carry guns, however, they do carry handcuffs, batons, and an Oleoresin Capsicum spray.

WHY DO WE HAVE CSO’s?

In October 2019, WDFN, Muskoday, and the Province of Saskatchewan signed an MoU agreement. The MoU implements the CSO program to better enforce our laws and ensure community safety. This pilot program is supported by federal and provincial policing funding and by the Lands Advisory Board.
