Community Watch
Community Watch
is a flexible crime prevention and crime interruption program that supports the partnering of the Saskatoon Police Service and the community in making our communities a safe place to live and work.
Make a difference
Being involved in the dissemination and acquisition of crime related information will assist in making your community a safe place to live and work. With proper information, communities and police can work on solutions to existing problems.
It’s easy to get involved.
- Place a Community Watch sticker on your door to show your neighborhood's commitment to crime prevention.
- Do a security audit of your home or business and upgrade any deficiencies.
- Mark and photograph your property for identification
- Introduce yourself to your neighbours. “A good neighbour is one of the most effective crime prevention tools ever created”
- Share information you receive through the Community Watch network with anyone you feel may benefit from it.
- To sign up for the Community Watch program and receive bulletins, contact Constable Rolanda McAvoy at 975-2265 or email .
Why Report Suspicious Behavior?
- The members of a community are the ones most familiar with the people, the vehicles, the activity and routines in that neighborhood. The community is best able to identify when something varies from the norm or something is not right.
- Police seldom come across crime in progress.
- Someone else may not have called the police - you can’t assume they have.
Who Should I call?
- If you see a crime in progress call 9-1-1
- To report a crime that is over with or not emergent call 975-8300
- To anonymously report information to the police call Crimestoppers at 975-TIPS
- To report an ongoing problem in your neighbourhood call the Community Liaison Officer in your area of the city. Please refer to the Patrol Divisions map on the left sidebar of this page to determine your division.
