2025 Advanis Survey and Strategic Plan

Crime can feel deeply personal when it happens - and it’s natural to worry. But even with those concerns, we heard that most people in our community still believe Saskatoon is a safe place to live.

Earlier this year, you told us what matters most to you through our community survey. Your voices are helping shape our new 2025 Strategic Plan.

Results from that survey can be found here. 2025 Advanis Survey

That’s why one of our Strategic Plan priorities is to provide effective response and quality service - to protect community members and meet their needs. By listening to your feedback, we’re working to strengthen trust and safety across our city. We do this, and will continue to do this, through initiatives such as Project Clampdown, Beat Blitz’s, Project Shield, and other focused, specialized policing operations to build trust, increase shared understanding, and work together to build a safe city embracing community.

One in three survey respondents told us someone in their household had been the victim of crime in the past year. But we also learned that property crime is only reported about half the time.

Even if we can’t always respond immediately to every call, reporting crime is essential. Without the full picture, we can’t direct resources where they’re needed most.

That’s why one of the pillars of our Strategic Plan is to leverage data, analytics, and best practices to put our resources where they’ll make the biggest difference.
