The Saskatchewan Provincial Police was a police force in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan that existed from 1917 until 1928 under the Saskatchewan Provincial Police Act.[3]
Created in 1917 to replace the Royal Northwest Mounted Police (RNWMP), which was strained by involvement during World War I at the homefront with border patrols, enemy surveillance, and national security enforcement. The force took over provincial policing needs while national policing in Saskatchewan continued to be conducted by the RNWMP.
The force had a maximum strength ranging from 145 to 175 officers in the 1920s. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police was contracted to act as the provincial police force[4] after increasing costs led the provincial government to outsource the service.[5] "F" Division is the RCMP's unit responsible for Saskatchewan.
