Summary

"In the Fall of 2012, representatives from "F" Division’s Operations Strategy Branch and Provincial Support Services met with researchers at the University of Saskatchewan’s Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science and Justice Studies. The purpose of this meeting was to outline "F" Division’s desire for a study on the various aviation needs of the relevant detachments, operations and support services who utilize aircraft in fulfilling their mandate. The question asked by "F" Division was what type and number of aircraft are required for the provincial policing services in Saskatchewan? The purpose of this report is to provide a detailed and needs-based response to that question. In preparing to answer this question, the research team worked closely with "F" Division’s Air Services to identify and gather information from the key stakeholders who depend upon the use of aircraft in fulfilling their mandate. As the methodology section of this report will explain, interviews were conducted with over two dozen respondents from "F" Division, as well as other Air Service personnel in Ottawa, Alberta and Manitoba. Qualitative data from the interview process were used to outline the aviation needs of "F" Division. These needs were then matched to the aircraft which can best meet these needs."--Introduction.
