About Us

The Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety (CPPS) is responsible for overseeing Saskatchewan's correctional system and facilities, providing the safe and secure custody of adult and youth offenders and delivering programs that promote safety and reduce re-offending.

As corrections professionals, our Vision is to provide correctional services that improve lives. Our Mission is to deliver programs and services to help ensure safe communities, safe facilities and a safe and engaged workforce. We believe our core Values provide the foundation for who we are and what we do. We value modelling respect and integrity, serving citizens, practicing excellence and innovation, while acting as one team.

Why a Career as a Facility Youth Worker is Rewarding

  • Accurately interpret and apply legislation, policy, and procedures;
  • Apply a collaborative approach that promotes interdisciplinary teamwork;
  • Continuously assess situational factors and evaluate the level of risk to make sound and appropriate decisions; and
