SASKATOON The Saskatchewan Public Complaints Commission (PCC) says there are concerns about a small number of police officers accused of wrongdoing in the course of their duties on multiple occasions. The PCC has raised concerns in the past about the inappropriate exercise of police powers and some of these concerns persist, the provincial police oversight agency said in its newly-released 2020-21 report. There is a rising concern about a small number of police officers who receive multiple complaints, often about the abuse of their authority, the report said. The PCC said it feels it appears there is a lack of serious consequences for the repetition of such behaviours.

SASKATOON An Indigenous man who lives in the city says he’s afraid to leave his home after he claims police used excessive force, leaving him battered and swollen. “They stopped me, they asked me for my name. I have my ticket here what they gave me,” William Favel said during a Zoom news conference organized by the Candian Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP). On the morning of April 2, Favel says he was on 20th Street West making his way towards a community barbecue at the Central Urban Metis Federation Inc., on Avenue M South. He said he was finishing up his weekly 20-kilometre jog, when he noticed a police car driving past him a few times before eventually stopping in front of him.
