Saskatchewan COPP groups have established the Saskatchewan Citizens on Patrol Association (SCOPA), similar to that which exists in Alberta and Nova Scotia. We’re a non-profit association which exists to provide support & resources for Saskatchewan COPP groups as well act as an advocate for COPP groups.
Currently COPP groups are active in The Battlefords, Candle Lake, Wilkie, Kindersley, the Lakeland area, Yorkton, Meadow Lake, Lloydminster, Tisdale, Moose Jaw, Nipawin, Regina and other communities. Assiniboia and Shaunavon are establishing COPP groups and other communities have reached out to CCOPA liaison Sgt. James Flynn expressing interest in beginning local COPP groups.
Beyond merely patrolling, COPP groups also operate activities such as home checks during occupant absences, property security camera registries and safe ride home programs.
For further information about COPP in Saskatchewan, including establishing a group in your community or suggestions on how to manage a current group please email us at coppnb@outlook.com or james.flynn@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. If your community operates a COPP program or would like to start a program, we’d love to connect with you, please reach out to either of the email addresses.
Note our 1st annual AGM & Seminar will be held in Moose Jaw on Saturday, October 19, 2024 beginning at 11 am. Existing and interested groups are encouraged to attend. Details in the AGM agenda.
