YORKTON - Jordan Russell will be joining the city as Special Constable – Community Safety Officer for the City of Yorkton effective on the date his appointment is approved by the Ministry of Corrections, Policing, and Public Safety.
Yorkton Council was unanimous in supporting the motion at its regular meeting Monday.
“Russell began his employment with the City of Yorkton as a Bylaw Enforcement Officer to fill the vacancy after the previous CSO left the City in August 2021,” explained Nicole Baptist – Bylaw & Safety Supervisor, with the city.
Following the successful completion of his probationary period, Russell was enrolled in the Community Safety Officer program at Sask Polytech.
Russell’s Special Constable appointment is in the process of being reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety.
“With the appointment of our second CSO, the Bylaw Division returns to our full complement, which will improve our ability to provide more coverage for issues such as general traffic enforcement, loud vehicles, and commercial vehicles. Improving our coverage will assist in keeping our community safe,” said Baptist.
