Pikangikum First Nation recently conducted a policing needs assessment to better understand the policing model options available to them under the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program. A stand-alone, self-governed police service was indicated as the Nation’s preference of policing models.

Since 2009, the G4 Nations have engaged in activities to create a prosperous economy which has resulted in economic growth and an innovative vision of the Indigenous economy.

This project will fund an economic development study and the coordination of engagement sessions conducted by the Stoney Nakoda - Tsuut'ina Tribal Council Ltd. This project will produce an analysis on the relationship between economic development activities and community safety and explore the factors that influence community safety and policing needs on First Nation communities which are located close to urban centres. In turn, this will determine the results of effective policing on community safety and economic prosperity of First Nation communities and a discussion paper will be provided on the evidence gathered from self-administered police services to inform future policing models supported by the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP) Terms and Conditions (T&C).

In anticipation of the legislation, the purpose of this project is to fund the coordination of engagement sessions held by Stoney Nakoda - Tsuut'ina Tribal Council Ltd. to explore the factors that influence community safety and policing needs on First Nation Communities which are located in close proximity to the City of Calgary, an urban centre. In turn, a discussion paper will be provided on the evidence gathered from self-administered police services to inform future policing models supported by the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP) Terms and Conditions (T&C).

Mary’s First Nation, this project will provide day-to-day policing services to the members of St.

This investment is part of the strategy to stabilize police forces under the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP), which began in 2022-2023.

This project aims to enhance community-based policing principles and improve the working relationship between Pikangikum First Nation and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). By providing funding for twenty Peacekeepers and two Project Coordinators, the program provides the First Nation with an additional mechanism to enhance community safety and engage in crime prevention. The program will provide funding for staff salaries, the purchase of equipment (including patrol vehicles), maintenance and support of infrastructure, training and administration.

The objective of the project is to provide funding to the Government of Manitoba to support community governance and strengthen the working relationships between First Nation and Inuit Communities and their police service/the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The funding will be further redistributed to communities that currently have a Community Tripartite Agreement in place under the First Nations and Inuit Policing (FNIPP) Program. This enables the establishment of Community Consultative Group (CCG) Boards which is a formal mechanism for communities and the RCMP to regularly engage and collaborate on policing needs and priorities.

The Manitoba First Nation Safety Officer Program (MFNSOP) was developed by the Province of Manitoba under Bill #5 to cover the gap created by the termination of the Band Constable Program.
