Alberta and Siksika Nation are partnering to bring a dedicated police service to the first nation.
The province has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Siksika First Nation that states the two sides will try to create a new police service.
Since then, the nation, located near Bassano, has had its policing needs served by Gleichen RCMP, a hamlet of a few hundred people. "You would never see that if it was flip flop. You would never see a 200-people First Nation with a police force and a 8,000 municipality without one. So I'm just talking about equitable treatment. It's not been equitable treatment."
Justice Minister and Solicitor General Tyler Shandro says it is waiting on Ottawa to unfreeze funding to the First Nation and Inuit Policing Program, which has been under review.
