The province says the funding will give First Nations police services new crime-fighting technology
THUNDER BAY – Nine First Nations police services and 18 First Nations communities who have policing administered by the Ontario Provincial Police under the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program will be seeing some more modern policing equipment after an announcement by the Ontario government.
“First Nations police services need modern equipment to keep their communities safe,” said Solicitor General, Michael Kerzner. “This initiative will provide police officers and personnel with the tools they need to fight crime effectively and efficiently while in the field and connected to a local command network.”
“As we look to modernize law enforcement across the province, it is critical that we support First Nations police services,” said Greg Rickford, Minister of Indigenous Affairs. “These targeted investments will enhance efficiency and give officers the tools they need to serve their communities and remain safe on the job.”
“I am pleased to get this equipment into the hands of our frontline officers. Mobile workstations will increase community safety and police visibility by keeping officers on the road and in our communities,” he said.
