The Manitoba First Nations Police (MFNP) have had a strong presence in Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) and have been serving First Nations communities for some time. It gives First Nations people an opportunity to be a part of the safety solution in First Nations communities.
“Our police officers, like the RCMP, are highly trained and have full policing authorities as any other police officers in the Province,” said MFNP Community Outreach Liaison Irene Huculak. “In 12 First Nation communities, with Fisher River Cree Nation joining our policing family in October, have chosen the MFNPS to be their partners in public safety largely because we were developed and built for First Nations by First Nations.
