Saskatchewan RCMP head to ‘frosh’ party, bring chips, salsa, possible charges

RCMP in Saskatchewan are heading to a university party Saturday night and, like any courteous guest, they will be bringing the host a gift.

After hearing about the party in Lumsden, Sask., the Mounties posted this cheeky RSVP on Facebook, saying officers will bring snacks as well as a choice of possible charges for the party-goers.

The possible charges come with fines ranging from $250-$1050; the most expensive fine for providing liquor to a minor.

RCMP spokesperson Eilidh Thain told CJME news that social media was the best way to educate the public on the charges that can crop up at a party.

“This really connects with people because that’s how they communicate, that’s how they share, and they interact with us quite a bit on our social media website,” he said.

As of Saturday morning the post already had more than 5,000 likes.
