Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)

The Kerrobert RCMP Detachment employs three Constables, one clerk, and one Corporal. The detachment is part of the Kindersley Subdivision.

Goals
The main goal of the Kerrobert RCMP Detachment is to create and maintain a safe, secure environment for all Kerrobert and area citizens. We strive to accomplish this goal through proactive community programs designed to prevent crime as well as efficient, thorough investigations of crimes committed.

There may be occasions when office staff are not available during regular office hours. Calls will be automatically dispatched to the Saskatchewan RCMP Dispatch Centre.

Reporting Crimes to Police
People very often, and for various reasons, do not call the police about things that have happened to them or things they have seen. Unfortunately, keeping this information to yourself may adversely impact you later on, but it most certainly will have an adverse affect on the way of life in your community.

Citizens on Patrol Program
With the assistance of dedicated volunteers, Kerrobert RCMP Detachment is able to operate a Citizens on Patrol Program. Patrollers volunteer their time for several hours each month to drive around Kerrobert and keep watch for any unusual or suspicious activity and report it to police. Anyone interested in becoming involved as a Citizen on Patrol can contact the Kerrobert RCMP Detachment. Names of volunteers are not publicized.

First Responders

Heartland Health Region has approximately 100 First Responders who represent the front-line volunteers in the Emergency Medical Services team. First Responders are local volunteers who maintain advanced First Aid and CPR training that prepares them to deal with traumatic physical injuries as well as serious medical emergencies until ambulances arrive on the scene.

First Responders assess injuries and illnesses and initiate emergency treatments prior to the arrival of the ambulance. They work closely with EMS personnel to provide the public with prompt and efficient care in times of emergency.

Emergency Measures Organization

As part of the Town of Kerrobert’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its residents, the Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Emergency Response Plan was created to assess the potential hazards that are most likely to impact the community or surrounding area. This plan is updated on a regular basis to ensure the most up to date resources and agencies are actively involved in the implementation of the plan should an emergency occur.

According to the Emergency Response Plan, the Town of Kerrobert is most likely to experience the following emergencies:

  • Chemical spill or Dangerous Goods accident on the highway or railway
  • The chemical spill or dangerous goods accident involving an evacuation of all or a portion of the Town of Kerrobert could have the greatest overall impact on the community and surrounding area.
  • Tornado/Windstorm
  • Snow/Ice
  • Long-term Power Failure
  • Fire – wild fire/structural/explosion
  • Pandemic/Epidemic occurrence

The Emergency Response Plan involves consultation between the Town of Kerrobert, RM of Mariposa, RM of Oakdale, RM of Progress, and the emergency response agencies (i.e. RCMP, EMS, Kerrobert Fire and Rescue), Heartland Health Region, crisis and emergency support agencies, and several other important partners. Surrounding communities commit to provide mutual aid if a major incident occurs.

For more information about the plan, contact the Town of Kerrobert office.
