A Saskatoon police sergeant and another officer have been suspended and are under investigation, the latest suspensions within the force.
In a statement, the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) confirmed a sergeant was served a notice of suspension on Feb. 7 following a preliminary investigation by the SPS Professional Standards Division.
The Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) is also investigating certain aspects of the case, though police have not disclosed details. According to SIRT’s mandate, it investigates cases involving serious injury, death, allegations of sexual assault or interpersonal violence linked to police actions—whether officers were on or off duty.
Police have not provided names or reasons for the suspensions, nor have they confirmed whether the officers are still receiving pay.
“As the matter is actively being investigated, and is non-public-facing, we are not able to provide any further details at this time,” SPS said in its statement.
In an unrelated case, another officer was suspended in January, with the Regina Police Service handling that investigation.
The suspensions bring the total number of ongoing SIRT investigations involving Saskatoon police officers to three in the past six months, with a fourth case under RPS review.
