On behalf of the 1350 members of the SFPO we appreciate your continued support in the province of Saskatchewan. Police across the nation have been busy since the Federal Government’s decision to Legalize Cannabis. There were many issues that arose from legalization. Changes were made in the Criminal Code in relation to Impaired Driving. We need to ensure there are approved screening devices that work in climates across the country. And ensuring the dispensaries are properly regulated. Police Agencies continue to train Drug Recognition Experts across the country. Police have worked with Federal and Provincial Governing bodies to ensure that officers have the proper training and equipment to enforce the new laws. Police are ensuring that this is properly regulated and that our youth of the country are not accessing Cannabis. I want to take this time to thank you for your contributions and support. With the generous support of individuals, businesses, and corporations throughout the province, we are able to educate the citizens of the province on Cannabis Awareness. Thank you for continuing to work together to build safe communities throughout Saskatchewan.
