Welcome to On Scene 2008 from...
First responders are often called to situations that require inter-agency coordination and response; however, a gap exists in terms of providing coordinated training for front-line responders. On-Scene fills that gap and provides an opportunity to enhance skills within the context of a unique and exciting learning environment. The Regina Police Service is proud to be a partner agency for this conference.

Emergency services front line personnel are required to respond to dynamic situations, often placing the welfare of others before their own. Continuous training and development is an essential component of their ability to respond to these situations. That is why the RCMP in Saskatchewan is excited to support the Front Line Protective Services Conference coming September 23-26, 2008. The featured speakers and live training scenarios will provide important information and training opportunities to assist front line responders in performing their duties.
We congratulate the organizers from all fields of emergency service and thank them for this important opportunity for skill development and networking. The RCMP is pleased to work with other law enforcement, fire and protective services and emergency medical personnel to keep communities safe.
We look forward to seeing you in Regina.
