Welcome to another edition of – Last time, we covered police powers of arrest under section 495(1) of the Criminal Code. Today, we're looking at arrest warrants.

Section 495(1)(c) C.C. details when a police officer may arrest an individual for whom a warrant of arrest has been issued. Did you know that warrants:

• Are issued by a court and give police the authority to arrest someone for the offence listed on the warrant.
• Have jurisdiction or ‘radius’ (e.g. Saskatchewan-wide). This means that if the person is located by police in Saskatchewan, they can be arrested.
• Can be either endorsed (person will generally be released with a new court date) or unendorsed (person will usually be held for a court appearance).
The last, trickier, part of the warrant process is used when a person named on a warrant is found outside the warrant's jurisdiction.
• For example: If a person wanted on a Saskatchewan-wide warrant is located in Alberta, police no longer have basic powers of arrest under section 495(1)(c) C.C.
• However, if the offence is indictable (including hybrid offences), police may still be able to arrest under section 495(1)(a), since it is reasonable to believe the person committed the offence identified on the warrant.

It is important for to train and fully understand their powers of arrest so they can make quick, lawful and correct decisions in the field.

What an incredible experience!

This week, we were proud to welcome more than 450 athletes to the for a behind-the-scenes tour. These young athletes were in Regina, Saskatchewan, for the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships. These are Canada's only national track and field championships for the under-16 and under-18 categories.

It was a full and memorable morning for the athletes, coaches, chaperones and Legion representatives who joined us from across the country. Visitors had the opportunity to explore the Academy, learn about the history of Depot, and get a firsthand look at what life is like for as they train to serve Canadians.

The visit concluded with lunch at the Carden Estate Campground and watching the Sergeant Major's Parade.

Thank you to the many volunteers and employees who helped make this experience possible. Your support created a memorable visit for hundreds of young Canadians.

Welcome to another edition of – have you ever wondered what gives a police officer the power to arrest someone? It’s dense content, but here’s just a glimpse of what learn on this topic as part of their training.

A police officers’ powers of arrest come from Section 495 (1) of the Criminal Code (C.C.). Under the C.C., there are three types of offences:
🚔Indictable (the big bads – murder, treason, etc.)
🚔Summary conviction (lesser offences – cause disturbance, etc.)
🚔Dual procedure/hybrid (which can be either indictable or summary – theft, mischief, etc.)

Section 495 (1)(a) C.C. gives police officers the power to arrest a person for committing an indictable offence (meaning either indictable or hybrid offences) if that offence has happened in the past or if an indictable offence is about to be committed.

The above usually applies to policing when an offence was reported to police, but police arrive after the fact. It could also be that a police officer receives a reliable report of an offence that is being planned and intercedes prior to the offence occurring.

Section 495 (1)(b) C.C. gives police officers the power to arrest any person who they find committing any offence. For example – you see someone steal a candy bar; you can arrest them.

It is important for police officers to train and fully understand their powers of arrest. This allows them to make quick and correct decisions when faced with someone who has committed an offence. Cadets will build their understanding of powers of arrest continually in both classroom and scenario-based training.

For the third year in a row, we’re proud to parter with the Kids with Cancer Society and to create an unforgettable experience for two deserving young leaders. We were honoured to welcome Haley and Maya to the as Co-Commanding Officers.

Both Haley and Maya have gone through childhood cancer journeys and have dealt with so much at a very young age. We’re immensely proud that we’re able to bring them into our ranks and provide them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Their two-day journey began yesterday in Alberta with the Alberta RCMP. From there, they made their way to Regina. First up on the agenda, they were the VIP guests at a Troop Graduation. Today they enjoyed a full day that included a tour, a drive around the track, trying out the driving simulators and a visit with the Emergency Response Team. The visit wrapped up with a very important task, inspecting the troops as Co-Commanding Officers at today’s Sergeant Major’s Parade.

Thank you, Haley and Maya, for leading us so proudly! Special thank you to everyone who worked together to create this memorable experience.

Three police officers have been killed in the line of duty, and three others have been seriously injured in incidents across Canada over the past two weeks. The RCMP Academy extends our deepest condolences to the families, friends, colleagues and communities of those impacted by these tragedies. We also extend our sympathy to the family and loved ones of the member of the public who lost their life in Montreal.

These incidents are deeply felt throughout the policing community and serve as a sobering reminder of the risks faced by those who choose a career in law enforcement. Our thoughts are with all those impacted in Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.

We’re ending the week on a sweet note – National Donut Day!

First let’s look back at the origin of this day. It was established to honour volunteers in the Salvation Army who served fresh donuts to troops on the front lines during the First World War. It was a way to share some comfort and a little taste of home with the soldiers. The Salvation Army in Canada still commemorates this day, which is the first Friday in June, by distributing donuts in various communities.

Today, the Division Mess carried on that spirit by serving donuts for dessert. Not only was it a tasty treat to enjoy, but it is also sparked conversations and acted as a reminder that community is built one interaction at a time. The simple act of connecting with someone can have a lasting impact in the communities we serve.

With over 150 specializations, a career with the RCMP is full of opportunity for continued learning and growth. Today’s is about Pathways Presentations.

Upon successful completion of the , most constables are posted to a general duty position. After completing 6 months of field coaching training at their detachment, and several years of general duty policing, these new police officers can apply for opportunities in more specialized units or areas of the RCMP.

Since 2007, regular members from divisions and various specialized units from across the country have presented at Pathways Presentations for . The presentations include real life experiences serving in detachments, remote postings and specialized positions like Police Dog Services, Forensics, Emergency Response Team, investigative units and more.

There are also special presentations with guidance on mental health, resilience, and detachment dynamics. These optional sessions give cadets a look into what opportunities are available throughout their careers, teaching them how to work towards their goals, and revealing roles they might not have known about.

From remote detachments to specialized services and everywhere in between, the Pathways presentations highlight the many directions a career with the RCMP can take.
