REGINA – The Province’s first payout from the criminal property forfeiture fund of $200,000 is providing more support to police and Saskatchewan victims of crime.
The Ministry of Justice is providing Regina police with $100,000 and the victim’s fund with $100,000.
“The Fund has grown to $1.31 million since it was established in 2009, so we are pleased to have the opportunity to invest some of this funding back into the community,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said.
“The Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund is another example of our strong commitment to communities and families.”
“We’re pleased to distribute funding to police services and support ongoing services for victims of crime in Saskatchewan,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “This fund will continue to be important as we work together to reduce crime and victimization in our province.”
The criminal property forfeiture fund was created to use the proceeds of crime to make communities safer, and provide additional resources to police departments.
