Quick Summary

Katrina Caza, a four-year employee of the Regina Police Service (RPS), faces charges under Saskatchewan's Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act after a random audit revealed six instances of improper database access from 2023 to 2025. Two of these incidents related to media releases, while the other four involved personal information about someone Caza was in a relationship with. If convicted, she could face up to $50,000 in fines or one year in prison. While Caza remains employed at RPS without database access privileges pending further investigation, Regina police chief Lorilee Davies emphasized that the detection through an audit demonstrates the effectiveness of their privacy protection programs.

Story summary

A Regina Police Service (RPS) employee named Katrina Caza is facing charges under Saskatchewan’s Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LAFOIP) for improperly accessing internal police databases. A random audit last spring revealed that Caza had accessed the system six times from 2023 to 2025, with two instances related to media releases and four regarding someone she had a relationship with, specifically involving “family matters.” Although the Saskatchewan Attorney General did not recommend criminal charges, they authorized an offense under LAFOIP. If convicted, Caza could face a maximum fine of $50,000 or one year in prison, or both. Despite these accusations, Caza remains employed at RPS.
