Acting Superintendent Cam Lewis gave an update on the Moose Jaw Police Service’s Community Safety Strategy at last week’s board meeting. 

He said that 117 properties have signed up for the Trespass Prevention Program, and that police have also recovered and returned 50 shopping carts to local businesses. 

Although rain delayed progress in some regions in the province, the past week saw producers make good progress on harvest. Operations are nearly complete, with 97 per cent of this year’s crop off the field. It is expected – with favourable weather conditions, that most producers will finish harvest within the next week.
