Maskwacis RCMP recently took part in the Indigenous Policing Summit.

The event was hosted by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police at Tsuut’ina Nation near Calgary.

According to the detachment, the three-day event provided a platform for police leaders to strengthen operational readiness and build capacity in relation to Indigenous policing.

They note that it has been 10 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and over five years since the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

“We are moving from listening and learning to action,” says Cst. A/Cpl Catlin Chiasson, Maskwacis RCMP.

“There is not a one size that fits all. Having open dialogue with the nations is important, and we look forward to continuing the conversations.”

Following the summit, officers will focus on equipping decision-makers with practical strategies and tools to:

Bring police leaders and Indigenous knowledge together to enhance community safety.
Support the role of First Nations laws and by-laws in building safer communities.
Apply lessons from past inquiries and reports to current practices.
Promote understanding of Indigenous traditions and governance in policing.
Equip police to support Indigenous-led safety efforts and foster lasting, respectful relationships.
