Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment's Saskatchewan Officer Safety System
The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment's Saskatchewan Officer Safety System (SOS) tracks all officer calls, whereabouts, time of dispatch to an incident or violation, time of return and various other conditions about the call-out. It is essential that this system is live and fully operational 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The Saskatchewan Officer Satefy System is the primary safety-monitoring tool that the Ministry uses to ensure, as much as possible, the safety of field officers. In addition to Ministry of Environment officers, this service is also provided by the Ministry of Environment to the following departments and agencies: Highway Traffic Officers, Revenue Officers, National Park Officers, First Nations Rangers, Deputy Wildlife Officers, Environment Canada Officers, Federal Fisheries Officers, Federal Wildlife Officers, Federal Customs and Excise Officers, and other national and international enforcement personnel, as well as to any visiting US State and Canadian provincial officers in these categories. This service is also provided to Emergency Services personnel when requested and also to members of the RCMP on demand.
