Unity
RCMP members in Unity responded to a variety of incidents last week. Officers attended multiple vehicle collisions, including two involving wildlife—a deer and a moose—with no injuries reported; these incidents were documented for insurance purposes. Another single-vehicle collision near Unity also resulted in no injuries.
Police attempted a traffic stop when a vehicle fled, but there was insufficient evidence to proceed. Members continue to investigate complaints of fraud and a stolen e-bike. RCMP also assisted Saskatoon Police Service in serving a court document, responded to a request from Emergency Medical Services, and received two Mental Health Act complaints. In one case, the individual was transported to Battlefords Union Hospital for assessment.
Additionally, CN Police reported railway crossing malfunctions at Scott and Unity; these were recorded for information purposes. Officers also dealt with four traffic complaints, a false 911 call, and one false alarm.

Members also acted as mediators in a neighbour dispute, conducted a wellbeing check at the request of a citizen, and responded to a sudden death of a 59-year-old female from Wilkie, which was deemed non-suspicious. Officers handled a Mental Health Act complaint, a report of an individual not complying with a probation order, a moose-vehicle collision with no injuries, traffic control for livestock crossing, two traffic complaints, and one false 911 call.
