National Aboriginal Services
First Nation Self-Administered police services are unique institutions because traditionally, they had their own systems of justice and policing that included tribal law, tribal police services, tribal courts and other forms of dispute resolution and tribally supported systems of sanctions and rehabilitation that were considerably different from mainstream, Colonial forms of justice and policing. With the 2018 announcement of reinvestment of $291.2 million into the First Nations Policing Program (FNPP) over the next five years it provides an opportunity for First Nation communities to create long-term, sustainable police services as opposed to ineffective, short-term programs. The issues of funding, recruitment, span of control, civilian oversight, legal framework, and governance structure require a high-level of collaboration to cooperate in a major planning and implementation process. This session will explore solutions and give participants some tools and concepts to take back to their board and service. As a leader in public safety innovation and aboriginal services, MNP is uniquely positioned to partner with First Nation communities to establish a long-term and sustainable solutions for establishing Self-Administered First Nation policing services across Canada.
