Sask Party leadership candidate Clarke promotes preventative policing, boosting economy
Rob Clarke believes in a more interactive strategy when it comes to crime prevention in the province, but improving the economy is also high on his priority list.
The Saskatchewan Party leadership hopeful is the sixth candidate vying for the title.
“Saskatchewan faces some very challenging times,” he said. “One thing we should be looking at is different ways of starting new revenue streams, trying to promote growth in Saskatchewan.”
Clarke grew up in Quesnel, B.C., and is a member of Muskeg Lake First Nation. He is a former Conservative MP for Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River and also served as an RCMP officer for 18 years. In his work in policing, he received a number of awards, including the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Commendation Medal and the RCMP Commissioner’s Commendation for Bravery related to the 2006 shootings in Spiritwood.
