Released on May 25, 2007
Saskatchewan's first self-administered First Nations police agency was formally established today with a ceremonial signing.
"The creation of the File Hills First Nations Police Service demonstrates how partnerships can effectively make our justice system more responsive to Aboriginal culture and traditions," Justice Minister Frank Quennell said. "I am confident that this police agency will help ensure that the residents of these communities feel safe and secure."
The new police service will have a total of seven officers. Five officers, including the Police Chief, will police the Little Black Bear, Okanese, Peepeekisis and Star Blanket First Nations. Two officers will police the Carry the Kettle First Nation.
The policing agreement was signed by Saskatchewan Justice, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, the RCMP, the File Hills Board of Police Commissioners and the Chiefs representing the Bands of Okanese, Little Black Bear, Carry the Kettle, Star Blanket and Peepeekisis First Nations.
The budget for the File Hills First Nations Police Service is almost $968,200, which is cost-shared by the federal government and the Government of Saskatchewan.
The signing ceremony was part of Okanese, Little Black Bear and Star Blanket First Nations Treaty Day celebrations.
The transition toward a self-administered File Hills First Nations Police Service began in 1993. At that time, the federal and provincial governments and the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations signed an agreement for the policing of First Nations in Saskatchewan, which provides First Nations with options on how they are policed.
