Title:

Pikangikum Policing Transformation Project - Stage 2

Agreement Number:

23482

Agreement Value:

$135,200.00

Agreement Date:

Apr 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2025

Description:

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. As such, there are several initiatives that are required to proceed with the implementation of the police service. The following subsections describe separate, but linked project segments for which we have proposed solutions to Pikangikum. They include: 1) Policy and Procedure Development 2) Police Board Development and Governance Training 3) Chief of Police Recruitment 4) Project Management

Organization:

Public Safety Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of the project are to provide board development and governance training needed to establish a police service board, recruit a chief of police, and position the community to enhance and establish a policing service that is conducive to their needs.

Phase 1 – Project initiation and planning
- The initial kick-off meeting will have been held with Pikangikum.
- Follow up communications to Pikangikum First Nation have provided expectations and a detailed validated project scope, objectives, resources, approach and expected outcomes.

Phase 2 – Review of current Pikangikum Police Policies
- Policies have been revised
- Areas requiring customization or adaptation for Pikangikum have been identified.

Phase 3 – Research and Development of Pikangikum Police Board Policies and Procedures
- Policies for the Pikangikum Police Service and its Board have been developed based on best practices, research from other First Nation Police Services and the
requirements of the Police Services Act and the Policing Standards Manual (2000).
