Pikangikum First Nation

Purpose

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 (FNIPP). A stand-alone First Nation police service was indicated as the Nation’s preference of policing models. To support the community's needs, this project will support them in developing its own sets of customized policies and procedures, provide governance training and establish a board of directors, and consultants will support them in hiring a chief of police.
