The Prince Albert Grand Council is moving forward with plans for its own independent police force, aiming to address local needs and improve response times in remote First Nations. A $1.4 million feasibility study, funded by federal and provincial governments, explores various models for community-focused safety services. The study, approved by chiefs, highlights strategies to overcome challenges such as language barriers and de-escalation. However, significant investments in time, resources, and leadership are required. The province has budgeted $26 million for First Nations policing this year, with a final decision expected at the councils annual assembly in October.
