Historique
In 1884, the Moose Jaw town council recognized the need for a police presence in the area. At the May 12, 1884 town meeting, the council hired J. M. Simmington as town constable. In 1889, W. M Lambert and John H. Parry were hired as policeman and policeman/tax collector respectively. In 1903, the force was comprised of three patrol sergeants, fifteen constables and one matron. In 1911, the police service purchased its first motorized vehicle, a Dodge dart. The police station was part of city hall until 1985. At this time the station moved to its present location at the corner of Main Street and Fairford West. In 2013, the department is comprised of a Chief of Police, Deputy Chief, three inspectors, five sergeants, eight corporals, and thirty-four constables.
