There's nothing police can do about the spread of these crimes, but it makes more sense safety-wise to simply try not to be a statistic and drive where possible.
This is fear mongering at its worst. Saskatoon is statistically the safest it's been in over 50 years. Crime has been on a downward trend for over 25 years.

I lived in the city for nearly 10 years, took transit daily, and never had a single issue with crime. Same goes for my entire social circle.
