A former Saskatoon police officer, fired in September with two other officers after an off-duty hot tub party in his backyard, is now charged with assault.

Dylan Kemp was arrested, charged and released on Thursday, according to a news release from the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT). He is scheduled to appear in Saskatoon provincial court Nov. 27.

On Aug. 28, CBC reported that five officers were suspended because of a house party in September 2024 hosted by a member of the elite Emergency Response Team, also known as the tactical team.

That host was Dylan Kemp.

Officers who contacted CBC said that a tactical team member allegedly physically assaulted a junior female officer at the party. That officer is the complainant in Kemp’s assault charge.
