SCOTT MOE FAILS TO ADDRESS MASSIVE CRIME WAVE IN PRINCE ALBERT

Violent Crimes rises 10% While Failing Premier Sits On His Hands

PRINCE ALBERT – The Saskatchewan NDP is demanding that Scott Moe and Public Safety Minister Michael Weger step in with emergency action to address the shocking levels of crime in Prince Albert.

Data for 2025 shows that violent crimes were up across the board in the city.
‎
“Prince Albert is facing an unprecedented crime wave that requires urgent action — those are facts of 18 years of failed leadership by Scott Moe and the Sask. Party,” said Hugh Gordon, Associate Shadow Minister for xx.
‎
“The people of Saskatchewan and the people in Prince Albert deserve better than a government that ignores the public safety crisis wreaking havoc in our communities. People remember a time when they could walk the streets without feeling like they’re in danger.
‎
“And, rather than addressing the issues, we have a Premier who buries his head in the sand and pretends everything is alright. Clearly, it’s not.”
‎
According to the December 2025 Monthly Statistics report released by the Prince Albert Police:

Arson rose 41 per cent
Theft to motor vehicles rose 29 per cent
Robberies rose 39 per cent
Theft over $5,000 up 40 per cent
There were nearly 2,000 violent crimes in 2025, 10 per cent more than in 2024.
‎
The report also details that break-ins at Prince Albert schools, churches, and halls tripled over the last year.
‎
Across Saskatchewan, the severe crime rate is double the national average. Scott Moe promised to hire more police officers in the 2024 election campaign but has not produced evidence of following through on that commitment 15 months later.
‎
“We don’t need more ‘announcements,’ or ribbon cuttings — we need boots on the ground and we need real investment in initiatives to address the root causes of crime,” Gordon said.
‎
“We’re not going to solve these problems without housing, without urgent measures to lower the cost of living and to address the mental health and addictions crisis.
‎
‎“It’s time for change.”
