Ontario Signs Historic Agreement with First Nations Police Service Board

The government has announced that the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service Board (NAPSB) will be the first-ever First Nations police service to come under the umbrella of the Community Safety and Policing Act, the province’s policing legislation.

During a signing ceremony at Queen’s Park, the province also announced a $514 million investment to support NAPSB as it opts-in to the provincial framework for policing. The funding will allow the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service to double the number of officers that serve 34 First Nation communities.
