Peace Officers

Members of Campus Safety are Peace Officers and Special Constables, as appointed by the Minister of Justice. With this designation, our members are better able to serve the needs of the University community.
We are empowered to enforce the regulations of the University Act, the Traffic Safety Act, the Saskatchewan Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act as well as sections of the Criminal Code of Canada.
There are currently 24 Special Constables assigned to uniform patrol. They patrol on foot, vehicle and bicycle and provide the initial response to all calls for service from assaults to lockouts.
Beyond the regular policing aspects of our duties, however, we pride ourselves on being of service to the community we serve. We attend all medical emergencies, fire alarm and intrusion alarms on campus, and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 966-5555.
