To enhance border integrity between Saskatchewan and the United States, the Government of Saskatchewan has introduced a Saskatchewan Border Security Plan (SBSP). The SBSP enables the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety to mobilize Provincial Protective Services (PPS) officers to work in partnership with provincial policing services and federal agencies to boost law enforcement’s presence near the border. The SBSP will take immediate action to redeploy 16 officers from conservation, Saskatchewan Highway Patrol and canine handler teams to regularly conduct patrols and public safety campaigns near the border.

These resources will include one mobile command unit for conducting commercial vehicle inspections, up to 16 patrol cars equipped with licence plate readers, and specialty equipment, such as drones, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and three planes for conducting surveillance activities. In addition, Saskatchewan has the ability to offer surge capacity of up to 95 officers to support federal border agencies if significant illegal activity occurs at the border. In 2024, provincially funded law enforcement teams seized illegal items valued at more than $17 million. The seized items include 88 kg of illicit drugs, with an approximate street value of more than $8 million and more than one million packs of illegal tobacco, with an approximate street value of $9.1 million. In addition, roughly 400 illegal firearms and over $700,000 in cash were confiscated during their investigations. STRTs have intervened in human trafficking matters and played a key role in educating police and other stakeholders across the province.
