The Regina Police Service (RPS) is warning the public about the dangers of “swatting” - a growing trend involving false emergency calls - after a recent investigation led to a youth being charged.

Police say they received a report shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 about a firearms-related incident at a home in the city’s southwest. The caller claimed a woman had been injured and that a suspect and another person were still inside the residence.

Due to the nature of the call for service, several members of the RPS Tactical Support Unit were dispatched to the address. Officers forcibly entered the home where a woman sustained minor injuries. After the search, policed found two residents who did not match the description in the report and determined there was no visible threat.

A 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with public mischief and is scheduled to appear in Regina Provincial Youth Court on Dec. 18.

Acting Chief Lorilee Davies said the incident highlights the serious risks associated with swatting.

“This is not a harmless prank,” Davies said in a news release from RPS. “False reports to police not only put the public and officers at risk of injury, or worse, but it takes our officers away from dealing with real crime and community safety concerns.”

Davies added this is the first known swatting incident in Regina.

“These are real people and real victims being put into high-risk, frightening situations through no fault of their own,” she said. “It’s not acceptable.”

The Regina Police Service (RPS) has charged a fourth person for their alleged role in the city’s 11th homicide of 2025.

Police were dispatched to a home on the 1000 block of 12th Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. on Nov. 1. Upon arrival, a 19-year-old man who had been shot was discovered at the location.

Paramedics declared the man dead at the scene. The identity of the victim will not be released at the request of his family, according to police.

The ongoing investigation resulted in Dana Delorme, 43, being charged with accessory after the fact to murder. Delorme is scheduled to make her first appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Nov. 13.

Three others were previously charged in the investigation.

Trevor Whitequill, 44, faces one charge of accessory after the fact to murder.

A 17-year-old woman faces three charges: accessory after the fact to murder, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized and possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order.

A 16-year-old man faces three charges: second-degree murder, possessing a firearm contrary to a prohibition order and failing to comply with the conditions of an undertaking.

Both the 17- and 16-year-old cannot be identified due to the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The RPS said its homicide investigation is still ongoing.

A new Regina Police Service (RPS) office is now open in Regina’s Cornwall Centre.

Going forward, security guards won’t be the only type of protection inside, with the first “hub” office in the province as a way to have a stronger police presence in both the mall and the surrounding downtown.

As a vacant space for two years, the centre brought up the idea of this office to the police last year.

“What we saw were gaps in coverage in years prior, because it was taking members of the downtown safety team and the [Alternative Response Officers] out of the downtown to have to go in and work on the clerical type things all back over to the police station,” said Katie Dockham, the general manager of the Cornwall Centre.

Currently, the RPS said 27 officers are dedicated to the downtown area, while the Cornwall Centre uses up to 10 security guards at a time.

The existing presence, plus the heavy foot traffic in the mall, makes it the ideal place for a new satellite office.

“The RPS has been tracking data since, especially since the launch of the ARO program,” said Dockham. “Statistics and data is how we measure that success, and it won’t look any different than that for us. So, we’ll take the historical data that we have and start to see what that looks like and how the needle shifts, post opening of this police office.”

“We know that increased police visibility leads to perceptions of safety increasing,” said Acting Police Chief Lorilee Davies. “So, I think anything that we can do to increase our presence and visibility in downtown, I think will be well received by the community.”

The office will be considered a hub, where officers can do their work but police say the main headquarters right down the street is the recommended place to report potential outside crimes.

Calgary police say three 15-year-old boys have been arrested in connection with the killing of 16-year-old Carter Spivak-Villeneuve in August.

Officials say one of the boys was arrested on the Muskowekan First Nation in Saskatchewan on Nov. 4 while another was arrested Nov. 12 in Calgary.

Both of those boys have been charged first-degree murder.

A third boy was arrested and at a media update Thursday. Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the city’s Homicide Unit confirmed that he has been charged with one count of first-degree murder.

He’s scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Calgary police were called to a greenspace in the 300 block of Abbeydale Drive N.E. at 1:20 a.m. on Aug. 1.

On arrival, they found the body of another male youth, later identified as Spivak-Villeneuve.

Officials say the youths arrested in the case were known to the victim and had arranged to meet with him that night.

“Carter’s death is alleged to be the result of an ongoing dispute,” police said in a news release.

Gregson called Spivak-Villeneuve’s death “devastating.”

“The loss of Carter is a devastating reminder of how seemingly insignificant conflict between youth can escalate with irreversible consequences. Carter’s death was senseless and the lives of everyone involved have now been forever changed,” he said.

The youths cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Police say the investigation is still ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

It has been more than three decades since the town of Oxbow lost its acute care beds. Now, the community of about 1,300 is asking the province to restore them.

Pamela Bartlett, chief administrative officer for the RM of Enniskillen, visited the legislative building Thursday to raise concerns about how the loss of acute care affects local families.

“I have taken care of many different family members and when they get displaced to other facilities, it creates a lot of havoc,” Bartlett said. “We want to see our residents able to stay in Oxbow.”

The provincial government recently placed the Oxbow and Gainsborough health centres under a single administrator. The Opposition NDP says the move is part of a troubling trend.

“This Sask. Party government is standing by their decision to have one manager split between two facilities 50 kilometres apart. And right now neither facility has an administrator at all,” NDP MLA Keith Jorgenson told the legislature.

Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill defended the province’s approach, saying reducing management positions is part of a broader strategy.

“We’re going to continue looking for more administrative savings so we can have more people on the front line putting patients first,” Cockrill said.

In a letter to the community, the government said it currently has no plans to restore acute care services in Oxbow.

An RCMP officer has been charged with breach of trust following an investigation by the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT).

On April 3, 2024, Saskatchewan RCMP notified SIRT of a serious injury after a call for service that day at a rural address near Lloydminster, according to SIRT report.

Around 7:14 a.m. Maidstone RCMP received a call from someone requesting a wellness check on a 68-year-old relative after being told he was dead, SIRT’s investigation said.

The man’s relative contacted RCMP again at 4:30 p.m. to request an update on the wellness check. The RCMP officer who was originally dispatched departed the Maidstone detachment at 4:39 p.m.

RCMP received another call from a different relative around 5:10 p.m., the report said. The relative had gone to the residence and reported the man was seriously injured but alive. Shortly after that call, RCMP arrived at the home and located the 68-year-old man.

EMS took the man to hospital, where he later died.

During SIRT’s investigation, one RCMP member was designated as a subject officer, with five members designated as witness officers. Six civilian witnesses were also interviewed.

SIRT determined there were reasonable grounds to believe an offence was committed by the subject officer. On Nov. 13, 2025, he was charged with breach of trust by a public officer.

He is scheduled to appear in Lloydminster Provincial Court on Dec. 11.

As the matter is before the courts, SIRT said it cannot provide additional information.

Investigation is underway after an inmate died at the Regina Correctional Centre on Thursday.

The province says a 39-year-old inmate was found unresponsive on a living unit around 11:04 a.m. Staff initiated life saving measures and called EMS, who declared the man dead at 11:25 a.m.

The Saskatchewan Coroners Service and the RCMP are investigating, with the Ministry of Collections, Policing, and Public Safety set to conduct an internal investigation.

No foul play is suspected, and the man’s next of kin have been notified, the province said.

The intersection of 9th Avenue North and McCarthy Blvd. has been cleared following a two-vehicle collision on Friday.

Officers were called to the area just before 4 p.m. for a report of a collision involving a commercial vehicle and an SUV, according to a release from the Regina Police Service (RPS).

Roads were blocked off between McIntosh and Courtney Street and 7th Avenue North to Rink Avenue as RPS, EMS, and Regina fire crews responded to the incident.

As of 7:30 p.m. the scene was cleared, according to an update from RPS.

EMS took the two occupants of the SUV to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The driver of the commercial vehicle, who was the lone occupant, was taken to hospital by EMS for medical assessment.

RPS says the investigation is ongoing.
