Title:
Bilateral Agreement - Kebaowek First Nation
Agreement Number:
3105-23195
Agreement Value:
$457,270.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
A surplus of Budget 2021 is currently forecasted for fiscal year 2022-23. First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP)’s National Headquarters reached out to Regional Offices to identify current funding needs for Self-Administered Agreements given that agreement holders have identified unfunded operational needs in the current fiscal year. This project represents items that are eligible under FNIPP Stream 3 which allows Public Safety to provide 100% of the requested funding through separate bilateral agreements.
Public Safety Canada, upon confirmation 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 that aligns with provincial policing priorities. 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.
The objective of this Bilateral Agreement between the Government of Canada and Kebaowek First Nation is to provide one-time funding for the purchase of additional equipment for the provision of policing services in Kebaowek.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
People living in First Nation and Inuit communities feel safe:
- A sustained reduction of police reported crime over time.
- The purchase of additional equipment will allow officers of the Kebaowek Police Service to have access to essential and necessary resources in order to perform their duties safely and efficiently. They will be better equipped to ensure the safety of the communities in which they work.
