Fraud Awareness
Through heightened attention of Fraud Awareness Month, the trained staff of Commercial Crime and Fraud Sections with RCMP “F” Division, Regina Police Service, Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission will be able to share their knowledge and inform the general public.
