Unity RCMP responded to a range of calls over the past week, including mental health concerns, child welfare matters, and property-related investigations.
Between April 22 and April 28, police received a complaint under the Mental Health Act, conducted a wellbeing check at the request of a family member, and spoke to an individual regarding a child welfare concern.
Officers also responded to a theft complaint, which remains under investigation, and attended a report of hay bales smoking near Unity. A complaint of disturbing the peace was received, but officers found insufficient evidence to proceed.
CN Police reported a railway crossing malfunction near Senlac. The information was logged for record-keeping.
During the same period, Unity RCMP received four traffic complaints and three false 911 calls.
Unity RCMP are reminding residents that non-urgent crimes can now be reported through the province’s Online Crime Reporting (OCR) tool — a service intended to ease the burden on front-line officers by streamlining reports for certain low-risk incidents.
The online platform, available at ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/saskatchewan, allows Saskatchewan residents to report:
-
Fraud and scams under $5,000;
-
Vandalism and property damage under $5,000;
-
Lost or stolen property under $5,000;
-
Certain traffic complaints (e.g., speeding, loud mufflers); and
-
Harassing communications via phone, social media, or text.
The RCMP notes that incidents involving threats of violence, sextortion, or known suspects should still be reported directly to the local detachment.
Unity RCMP continue to encourage community members to use the OCR tool for eligible reports to help ensure resources are focused where they are most needed.
