"We are just making the plays we are supposed to make," said Rolan Milligan.
A Meadow Lake youth, who was part of an RCMP investigation into incitement of hatred and uttering threats, has been released from custody on a Terrorism Peace Bond.
The youth, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is subject to strict release conditions, said the RCMP in a news release on June 28.
Details were limited, but Meadow Lake police said that in March 2024, they contacted the agency’s Federal Policing Northwest Region’s National Security Enforcement Section after the youth was arrested.
The arrest was part of an ongoing investigation and was done out of concern for public safety.
“The partnership between our local detachment officers here in Saskatchewan and the officers in specialized units in Federal Policing is invaluable. Incidents like this are very complex and sensitive in nature – so we always ensure our Federal Policing units are available to seamlessly work and integrate with detachments across the province” says Superintendent Andrew Farquhar, Deputy Criminal Operations Officer of Federal Policing Northwest Region in Saskatchewan.
Officers connected with the National Security program say that online radicalization of youth is a very real concern as part of grievance-based violence.
Along with families, communities and law enforcement have a role to play in preventing violent extremism, said the RCMP.
No more information will be released as the matter is before the courts.
Citizens are being encouraged to be vigilant and report any information on terrorism or related suspicious activity to the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805, online at www.rcmp.ca/report-it, or to their local police.
