📊 Gull Lake in the Bigger Picture

Though Gull Lake doesn’t publish its own crime stats, it falls under the Swift Current Rural RCMP detachment, which has seen a modest rise in property crime across the region in 2025. According to recent RCMP reports:

• Residential break-ins in Swift Current rose from 8 cases in Q2 2024 to 15 cases in Q2 2025.

• Theft over $5,000 also increased, with many incidents involving unlocked garages or vehicles containing garage door openers.

• Across Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdictions, non-dwelling break-ins (sheds, outbuildings) are on the rise, even as home break-ins have declined slightly over the past decade.

🛡️ What You Can Do

Local RCMP recommend a few simple steps to help protect your home:

• Lock all doors and windows, even during the day.

• Secure garage door openers and avoid leaving them in vehicles.

• Install motion-sensor lights or basic security cameras.

• Report suspicious activity — even small details can help solve a case.
