The Cultural Relations Unit of the Regina Police Service was established in 1983 following recommendations made by a commission of inquiry into the practices of the Regina Police Service Canine Section. The initial recommendation called for an Aboriginal Liaison Unit staffed by six sworn members. The resulting Unit involved one sworn member and its mandate was expanded to include all ethnic minorities in addition to the Aboriginal community. The Cultural Relations Unit has been expanded to include two sworn members and one civilian member.
