Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore spoke about the James Smith Cree nation stabbings, the impacts, and what the RCMP are doing moving forward.
“Those three individuals spoke to 172 potential applicants, and of that, 102 applied.”“They are positively changing what policing looks like in this province so that we ensure that it’s more representative of the populations we police.”
Drafts were created for a First Nations police services bill, but documents obtained under the Access to Information Act by The Canadian Press showed the drafts hit some roadblocks, one of the main ones being a disagreement between the Assembly of First Nations and the feds when it came to jurisdiction.
When asked about what kind of information people can expect to come from the inquests, Blackmore wouldn’t reveal much, but said the inquests can get into a lot of details and added that they want to maintain the sanctity of that. “For those families, it’s a different level. This is very much a personal event to them. They need some of those answers to help them with their own healing, and that was really a large motivator to try to get as much information to them as early as possible without compromising the Coroners inquests.”
