2026 FIRST NATIONS POLICE GOVERNANCE COUNCIL CONFERENCE

First Nations Police Governance and First Nations Police Services are essential for the security, safety, and prosperity of our communities. The governance of First Nations Police remains a crucial element for the prosperity of our communities and can significantly transform them. First Nations systems of government and governance are diverse and unique in their worldview and comprehension. Our approaches consider the collective benefit while ensuring adherence to natural law and a mutual responsibility for our lands and resources. The Treaties established with the Crown, now represented by the Government of Canada, are essential to our efforts in nation-building, which necessitates a comprehensive and effective public safety system for First Nations. First Nations encounter specific and unique issues, stemming from systemic disruption, harm, and persistent impediments. In addressing these obstacles, we persist in collaborating to devise effective solutions for intricate situations.

The First Nations Police Governance Council gathering in 2026 will continue the efforts we achieved collaboratively at the 2025 gathering. In 2025, we identified numerous challenges and successes faced by First Nations, particularly regarding women in police governance, treaty rights, capacity and community development, and the difficulties encountered under the First Nations Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP). This year's assembly will concentrate on discussing achievements, innovation, potential, and collaborative progress.
