鈥� 911 is for an emergency. Now we hate to get technical, however, just because an individual thinks it is an emergency does not mean it is an emergency. In addition, as amazing as we think we are, Police don鈥檛 do everything, well I guess we do, however, the results may not be what you expect.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� Where am I going with this? Well if you call 911 because you locked your keys in your vehicle and you want the RCMP to open it. Well, we are not locksmiths, but we could break a window. OK, we would not do that unless it was an emergency, such as infant is locked in the vehicle and it is too hot.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� OK, the moral of the story is it was not an emergency and not a good use of 911.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� We are still looking at having people join the Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network.听听To sign up go to www.saskcrimewatch.ca.听 This is how you find out about crimes and criminals in the area. You don鈥檛 have to do anything but listen or read. You can get a text message, email, or if your only thing is a physical land line, you can get a voice recording of what our message is.听 As my colleague in Moosomin stated 鈥淜nowledge is power.听 Choose to be powerful鈥�
听听听听听听听听 鈥� Be careful if you smoke. Make sure you know where your cigarette buyts end up. If the grass is dry it can catch fire, a plastic cup is not a good ashtray, nor is a garbage bag with garbage in it. Flower pots are also bad choices. The 鈥渟oil鈥� is very combustible, being it is not truly soil. .
听听听听听听听听 鈥� We have had quite a few child welfare calls as of late as well as mental health files. We understand parenting can be frustrating, however, your child refusing to listen to you is a parenting issue, not a policing issue.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� Some听people wreck听it for all people. If you are operating an ATV or snowmobile, depending on the season do not be operating it on somebody else鈥檚 land without their听knowledge or permission. Farmers particularly get upset when you drive across their freshly seeded crop. An $80 ticket was issued for operating an ATV on听private land without permission. 听
听听听听听听听听 鈥� Now, if you happen to leave an outside door of an establishment open or unlocked, do not be surprised that someone may go in and damage or kick in an inside door. If you know who broke into the Memorial Hall in Carlyle please contact our Detachment. Although it does not appear anything was stolen, there was damage.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� I know I trust my friends. That said I don鈥檛 trust them with my credit card or bank card information. Someone trusted the wrong 鈥渇riend鈥�. Thus we are investigating an incident involving a bank card and unlawful withdrawals.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� We assisted the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol with an impaired driver they arrested. Samples of 130 and 120 mg% were obtained. The driver did not have听their licence seized, because they did not have one. tsk, tsk.
听听听听听听听听 鈥� We continue to investigate a Break and Enter which has resulted in a Search Warrant in the Fillmore Detachment area and two arrests. We are a long way from wrapping this up, however, we thank the public that assisted in this matter.
