Sask. premier wants explanation for RCMP vacancy rates
The premier wants answers on the RCMP staffing issues in Saskatchewan.
Emails obtained exclusively by the CJME/CKOM newsrooms show a real issue of unfilled vacancies, particularly in the northern part of the province.
Currently there is a 15 per cent vacancy rate in the north and eight per cent in the south.
Since it was elected in 2007, Premier Brad Wall’s government has increased funding for police, including to the RCMP.
