Northern Ontario MP calls for more funding for First Nations policing

Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing MP Carol Hughes says local forces need 'a healthy increase in core funding'

The Member of Parliament for Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing is asking the federal government to provide stable, consistent funding for First Nations police services.

“Indigenous police forces such as those within my riding: the UCCM Anishnaabe Police, Wikwemikong Police Service, Anishinabek Police Service and the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service do great work in serving First Nations communities." "Often, only two officers are on duty per shift and when officers respond to a call in one community, it regularly leaves them unable to respond to calls from other First Nations communities.”
