• This funding will support the necessary equipment, infrastructure, and vehicle costs that are required to deliver the culturally responsive policing services that APS offers through their mission statement of supporting safe and healthy Anishinabek communities, while respecting traditional cultural values and protection of inherent rights and freedoms on their traditional territories.

• Funding the procurement and construction of policing infrastructure, replacement of fleet and marine vehicles as well as licenses for AXON body worn and fleet vehicle cameras will enhance officer presence and policing services in the communities they serve.
