Saskatchewan Government Announces Small-Town Police Service Funding Program
What happened
The government of Saskatchewan has established the STAR Grant Program to support small-town and rural police services. This program provides $10,000 for each sworn officer working with an eligible service. The program was announced earlier this year, with $190,000 committed in 2026-27 across five services. Luseland received a $10,000 allocation to support its police service.
Why it matters
The funding is managed through the provincial government to support local services. The program was announced while Community Safety Minister Michael Weger visited Luseland to present the ceremonial cheque. Highways Minister Kim Gartner also attended the funding presentation.
