Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety – Regina, SK

Strategic Leadership in Public Safety

Administrative Headquarters

The Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety operates its central administrative offices in the heart of downtown Regina at 1874 Scarth Street. This location serves as the strategic hub for the province’s justice initiatives, overseeing the management of correctional facilities, community supervision programs, and policing standards across Saskatchewan. While not a public-facing service counter for reporting crimes or visiting inmates, this office houses the executive teams responsible for Custody Services, Policing and Community Safety Services, and policy development.

Community Safety Initiatives

From this headquarters, the ministry coordinates vital programs such as the Municipal Police Grants, which support local law enforcement agencies, and the Provincial Protective Services Branch. The staff here work on high-level initiatives including the reduction of crime rates, the integration of Indigenous policing strategies, and the implementation of offender rehabilitation models. It is the nerve center where legislation translates into actionable public safety measures.

Oversight and Governance

The Custody Division located here ensures the safe and secure operation of the province’s correctional centers, while the Supervision and Rehabilitation Division oversees probation and community reintegration. The ministry also handles inquiries related to private security licensing and acts as the liaison for the RCMP’s provincial policing contract. Visitors to the building are typically there for scheduled administrative meetings or government business.
