As of June 18, Saskatchewan RCMP had opened investigations into 15 homicides in 2023.
Graham said coverage from front-line detachments is well maintained, but the more events the major crimes and general investigation sections have to respond to at greater distances, the more their on-call teams and resources are stretched.
“Sometimes it just takes longer for investigators to get to that second and third call because we have to muster resources to go,” he said. In 2018, RCMP conducted 22 homicide investigations; in 2022, they had 32, including one case — the mass stabbing attacks at James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon — that involved 11 deaths. The total number of people who died by homicide in the Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction last year was 42.
Commanding officer Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said RCMP have seen a 25 per cent increase in violent crime over the last 10 years within their jurisdiction.
