The Community Safety Officer (CSO) Program provides municipalities the option to enhance existing community safety services through the employment of CSOs. CSOs deliver high priority/low risk to harm community safety services and provide communities with an additional uniformed presence. The Town of White City has been assessing the need for CSOs in the community for the past several years. From the last census period in 2016, White City experienced a 23.3% population increase, making it one of the fastest developing communities in Saskatchewan. To meet to safety needs of the growing community, as part the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan, White City has implemented a CSO program beginning in 2023.
It is the intention of the Town to utilize the CSO Program to enforce municipal bylaws and provincial legislations and act as the primary Bylaw Enforcement Officer, replacing the Corps of Commissionaires, and enforce all White City Municipal Bylaws.
It is the intent of White City to have the CSO provide proactive policing through public educational opportunities and engagement with local stakeholders. The education aspect of the program would include attending schools to speak to students, patrolling during school start and end times, creating relationships with residents to encourage compliance for bylaws.
