Description:
The project scope was amended to incorporate the completion of two new police detachments at the Neskantaga and Marten Falls First Nations, with additional funding from the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General (SOLGEN) to address the growing need for policing infrastructure. The new detachments will enable effective service delivery across expanded areas, improve community-oriented policing, and enhance operational capacity.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:

This project is meant to fund the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service's infrastructure needs with no funding directly allocated to individual communities.

  • This project supports professional, dedicated, and culturally responsive policing services in First Nation and Inuit communities. Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service officers will have greater access to essential provisions and adequate facilities necessary to perform their duties safely and effectively.

  • The workload of the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service is dedicated to serving 34 First Nation communities in Northern Ontario. The total on-reserve population served is approximately 22,000 people.

    • Officers will be better equipped to respond to the increasing volume of calls for service and contribute to a sustained reduction of police reported crime over time.
