The Regina Police Service handed out a total of nine awards to 33 individuals today in a ceremony at Regina's Delta Hotel. The recipients, some of whom are Regina Police Service employees, were joined by some Regina citizens and police officers from the Saskatoon Police Service and RCMP. All are being recognized for their contributions to policing, safety and enhancement of life in our community. The award recipients are as follows:
Special Service Award -
Mr. Curtis Kemp and Mr. Ken Sabo, representatives for the Children's Justice Foundation - The Children's Justice Foundation was founded in 2005 as a charitable, non-profit organization to enhance training opportunities for those engaged in child abuse investigations. The Foundation also helps with research opportunities in the fields of social and human justice studies. To date, the Foundation has provided specialists to train police officers and social services investigators and has also funded technical equipment and training opportunities out of province.
Mr. Murray Fines – In the late 1960's, Mr. Fines was responsible for Public Relations at CIS, now known as the co-operators. He was approached by a member of the Regina Police Service about a crime prevention program, active in the U-S, called "Operation Identification". It was a process of marking valuables with an engraving pen, so if ever they were stolen, they could be returned to the rightful owner. Mr. Fines agreed to support the program and disseminated the information to insurance companies across Canada. In 1984, Mr. Fines was invited by RPS to discuss support of a new program, again from the U-S, which eventually grew into Crime Stoppers. Since 1984, Mr. Fines has served the Regina Crime Stoppers program in almost every capacity.
Meritorious Performance Award –
Ms. Patti Sandison-Cattell – Ms. Sandison-Cattell is the Wellness Co-ordinator for the Regina Police Service.

Mr. Rob Collins is awarded the Meritorious Performance Award in connection with this same investigation.

A vehicle, a 2002 Dodge Caravan, associated to the accused, was at that address but before patrol officers could safely make an arrest, a male matching the description of the accused left in the van. The vehicle was followed at a distance until it started to pick up speed and drive erratically. At one point, a police unit activated emergency equipment, but the suspect van did not stop. Some minutes later, the vehicle was involved in a minor, single-vehicle collision (vehicle struck a boulevard) and witnesses directed police to the area of Dixon Crescent, where the vehicle was found, abandoned. Canine members attempted to track the suspect, without success. A short time later a patrol member spotted the suspect and gave chase on foot.
