The Regina Police Service would like to remind the public that displaying any type of imitation firearm in public will prompt an immediate response from police. Until police know what the weapon is, it will be treated as if it’s a real firearm. And even if the “gun” turns out to be an imitation, serious criminal charges may result. Fake gun = real consequences. The public is encouraged to report suspicious activity to police by calling 306-777-6500. In an emergency, call 9-1-1.
