REGINA—The Saskatchewan government says police will be able to disclose people’s past violent behaviour to their partners in an effort to curb domestic violence. The move comes after a panel reviewing domestic violence deaths in the province made 19 recommendations in its final report. The government also says it will fund two additional crisis workers and expand programs that educate children about domestic violence and support those children exposed to it. “Saskatchewan has the highest rate of police-reported interpersonal and domestic violence of all provinces across all relationships,” said the panel’s report. Justice Minister Don Morgan said in a news release that the panel’s findings will be used as part of ongoing consultations on a provincial domestic violence plan.
