Description:
Public Safety Canada, in collaboration with the Ministère de la Sécurité publique du Québec, is making an investment to strengthen the physical capabilities of First Nations and Inuit police forces in the Quebec region. This investment is part of the strategy to stabilize police forces under the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP), which began in 2022-23. This strategy was initially designed to address existing challenges of the FNIPP in the region, and its second phase will support the growth of First Nations and Inuit police forces from 2024-25 onwards. The current investment bridges the gap between the two phases by enabling First Nations and Inuit police forces to increase their non-recurring physical capabilities.
