unrecorded: juneberry law discharge 3 officers after private party led to 5 suspensions
The Saskatoon Police Service has fired three officers after a year-long investigation.
Those officers and two others were suspended in September 2024 after an "off-duty gathering" that led to internal and external investigations.
The dismissed officers are two constables with nine and 10 years on the force, and a special constable with two years, according to a news release. The two other suspended officers returned to work in April 2025.
"The actions we've taken here today reflect our commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and accountability, and demonstrate that no one is above the expectations of this organization or the trust placed in us by the community," Police Chief Cam McBride said in the release.
The internal investigation involved the police professional standards division, responsible for the service's code of conduct. The external investigation involved the province's Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), an independent oversight body that investigates "matters where serious injury or death may have occurred while in the custody of police, as a result of the actions of a police officer, or where sexual assault or interpersonal violence involving police are alleged," according to its website.
Saskatoon police said in the news release that the internal professional standards investigation has concluded, but SIRT is continuing to investigate one aspect of the incident.

The officers also alleged that a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang was an invited guest at the party, and that his presence jeopardized the police undercover program.
