SGI PARTNERS WITH FILE HILLS FIRST NATIONS

Released on August 24, 2010

As part of SGI's ongoing effort to support traffic safety, the Minister responsible for SGI Tim McMillan today announced a partnership with File Hills First Nations to help promote traffic safety in their communities.

"It's wonderful to support the File Hills First Nations in keeping their communities safer," McMillan said at the partnership announcement on Okanese First Nation. "We know this partnership will help them in their continued commitment to provide quality police services."

As part of the partnership announcement, File Hills First Nations Police Service demonstrated traffic safety equipment that SGI provided funding for. An intoximeter (formerly called a breathalyzer), impairment testing equipment and a speed radar gun were all added to File Hills' existing traffic safety resources.

"This partnership helps us put a solid local traffic safety plan in place, making our residents feel safer," File Hills First Nations Police Chief Ralph Martin said. "We're now able to do all our impairment testing in the community, and all our vehicles will now have the equipment they need for traffic patrols."

The File Hills First Nations Police Service is currently the only self-administered First Nations police service in Saskatchewan, established in March 2007. It currently has a seven-member police force that is supported by four special constables. It polices the Little Black Bear, Okanese, Peepeekisis, Star Blanket and Carry the Kettle First Nations.
