Saskatchewan RCMP detachments will not be conducting criminal record checks during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision was made “out of respect for social distancing, and adhering to the recommendations from health professionals across Canada,” states a press release sent by police Tuesday. “We remain committed to reassessing this plan and communicating our approach.” There will be an exception for employment checks, the release states.
