'Nothing erodes public confidence and trust more' than police investigating police, says Sask. lawyer

Saskatchewan is behind the rest of the country when it comes to investigating the police, says the founder of the Indigenous Bar Association.

"Nothing erodes public confidence and trust more than the suggestion that police are investigating themselves," said longtime Saskatoon criminal lawyer Don Worme.

"Saskatchewan is late in terms of coming to certain recognitions. Saskatchewan has perhaps been a little slow."

Over the weekend, RCMP say they received a call from a man who said he had been chased and shot at from a vehicle.

RCMP later located the suspected vehicle in North Battleford and gave chase. The pursuit ended when police say the vehicle rammed into a cruiser.
