Jul 30, 2026 | 5:39 PM

Battlefords RCMP reported receiving more than 60 calls for service between 6 p.m. July 29 and 6 a.m. July 30.

The calls included the following serious assaults:

  • Battlefords RCMP received a report of a serious assault at a residence on Sweetgrass First Nation at approximately 11 p.m. July 29. Officers have been searching for the suspects using a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Battlefords RCMP at 310-RCMP. Information can also be submitted anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
  • Battlefords RCMP received a report of a serious assault at a park in North Battleford at approximately 4 a.m. July 30. A woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers arrested a suspect at the scene. Charges have not been formally laid and police are therefore unable to identify the individual.

Along with the serious assaults, officers responded to several other incidents, including:

  • Four reports of assault and assault with a weapon.
  • Three reports of uttering threats involving vehicles.
  • 17 reports of disturbing the peace and mischief.
  • One report of a missing person, who was located safe.

Police also arrested two people wanted on outstanding warrants.

“The Battlefords RCMP Detachment is one of the busiest in the province, and last night was one of the busiest nights so far this summer,” said Staff Sgt. Bryce Pender of the Battlefords RCMP.

“We wanted to share a glimpse behind the scenes on nights like this. From our dispatchers at the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Operational Communications Centre to our frontline officers and specialized policing services, we are working together to keep the Battlefords area safe 24/7.”
