INTRODUCTION Background: The transition toward a self-administered File Hills First Nations Police Service began in 1993. At that time, the federal and provincial governments and the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations signed an agreement for the policing of First Nations in Saskatchewan, which provides First Nations with options on how they are policed. On May 22 nd, 2014, following the expiration of a previous agreement, the File Hills First Nations Police Service Board of Police Commissioners entered into a new contractual arrangement with Her Majesty the Queen and the Province of Saskatchewan for the provision of policing services. This specific tri-partite agreement was entitled an Agreement on the Provision of Policing Services in the Communities of the File Hills First Nations 2014-2018. The signatories were; for Canada, the Minister of Public Safety; for Saskatchewan the Deputy Minister Responsible for Corrections and Policing, and for the File Hills First Nations, members of the File Hills First Nations Police Service Board of Police Commissioners as duly appointed by the member First Nation communities. In the agreement the File Hills First Nations Police received $8.2 million over four years to continue First Nations policing to the five File Hills First Nations communities. This funding is cost-shared with the federal government providing $4.3 million and the Government of Saskatchewan providing $3.9 million. The Agreement on the Provision of Policing Services in the Communities of the File Hills First Nations 2014-2018 sets out the obligations of each the parties in terms of reference, reporting and funding. In addition to the specified reporting requirements this report responds to the desire of the File Hills First Nations Police Service to be accountable to the File Hills First Nations communities and answerable to the File Hills First Nations Board of Police Commissioners. 3 www.filehillspolice.ca

Our Vision To implement and maintain a level of policing that is culturally sensitive to First Nations Values. Our Mission Statement The emphasis is to incorporate a culturally sensitive police service that reflects the traditional practices of the First Nations while working in conjunction with other established police services to ensure that quality policing is ongoing. With culturally sensitive policing, we have the strength to incorporate a more effective and proactive community policing strategy Our Values ASPIRE A Accountability Responsible for all our decisions and actions. S Sharing - Dedication to reawakening our culture for future generations, by enhancing community knowledge and holistic teachings P Protocol Doing the right things, for the right reasons, all of the time. I Integrity Building trust and friendships and maintaining humility R Respect Treat all with courtesy, compassion, fairness and dignity. E Excellence Committed to the highest ethical and legal standards in everything we do. Our Guiding Principles To promote an understanding of Services that provides a restorative approach to policing that is culturally enriched. The Police Service is dedicated to maintain a professional level of policing, incorporate cultural teachings that will be included in the developmental activities of the members 4 www.filehillspolice.ca

Message from the Chief of Police Lennard Len Busch 2014 certainly marked a year of many changes for the FHFNPS. A new Board of Police Commissioners was appointed by the member First Nations in May leading to the signing of the new Agreement on the Provision of Policing Services in the Communities of the File Hills First Nations 2014-2018. Then in September following the terms of two interim and acting Police Chiefs a new permanent Police of Chief was hired. I was both honored and humbled to be the person selected for the job. Then in October a further honor and responsibility was bestowed when in October I was made a traditional Chief at a ceremony held at the Okanese Learning Centre. We at the FHFNPS are cognizant that when our member communities opted to go with a self-administered policing service that they did not just want to duplicate the other policing options available to them, but to create something that would reflect their culture, traditions and values. It is now my, as Chief of Police and the employees of the FHFNPS s collective challenge to both fulfil and to become that vision and a model for all First Nations Police Services in Canada.

JURISDICTION The File Hills First Nations Police Service area of primary jurisdiction has not been altered from previous years. As Saskatchewan's only self-administered First Nations police agency the primary area of jurisdiction continues to be comprised of five First Nations communities in south central Saskatchewan; Carry the Kettle First Nation Peepeekisis First Nation Okanese First Nation Little Black Bear First Nation Star Blanket First Nation, including Wa-Pii-Moos-Toosis Carry the Kettle First Nation has a registered population of 2491 and an on reserve population of 891 persons. Peepeekisis First Nation has a registered population of 2412 and an on reserve population of 604 persons. Okanese First Nation has a registered population of 365 and an on Reserve population of 262. Star Blanket First Nation has a registered population of 600 and an on Reserve population of 252 people. Little Black Bear, Star Blanket, Okanese and Peepeekisis First Nations border upon each other from north to south respectively. Wa-Pii-Moos-Toosis is part of the Star Blanket First Nation; this urban community is situated at Lebret, Saskatchewan which is 39 kilometers from the Okanese Detachment. Carry the Kettle First Nation is situated south of Sintaluta, Saskatchewan on provincial road 606. The travel time between the Okanese office and the Carry the Kettle First Nations takes approximately 1 hour depending on road and weather conditions. Jurisdiction also extends to certain Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) properties that are deemed to be in reasonable proximity to the service s primary areas of jurisdiction. 8 www.filehillspolice.ca

PART 2 FHFNPS HIRING AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES (4.9.1.B) In terms of staffing there were several new hires and departures during 2014-15; Tara Bellegarde S/Cst., departed May 16 th, 2014 (now with Sask. Sheriffs) Keaton Walz Cst., hired August 25 th, 2014 (graduated SPC December 2014) Amanda Starr, support staff, hired on contractual basis August 25h, 2014 (now on maternity leave until August 2015) Mervin Morin A/COP, departed September 5 th, 2014 Lennard Busch COP, hired September 1 st, 2014 (contracted to 2018) Priscilla Johnstone Cst., hired September 26 th, 2014 Melanie Meade Cst. departed October 10 th, 2014 (now working at DOPS) In addition there are presently two RCMP secondment positions at the FHFNPS that have been filled by members of nearby RCMP detachments on a six month rotating basis. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year the following RCMP constables have worked at the FHFNPS; Cst Greg Muise Cst. Eric Therrien Cst Carrie Pankratz Cst. Spencer Bourhis Cst. Evan Bambridge Cst. Derek Dyck A continuing emphasis was initiated on in terms of recruiting and long term succession planning. There was some restructuring during 2013 where a sergeant s position was eliminated and changed into two corporal / investigator positions. This appears to be working well allowing for enhanced supervision. As since 2006 there have been 53 staff departures for various reasons from the FHFNPS the recruiting and retention of employees has been and continues to be a significant challenge for us. In terms of a recruiting strategy a key activity has been the development of a new website: www.filehillspolice.ca which includes a careers tab complete with job descriptions, hiring process information and an FHFNPS application form. The new Police FHFNPS Board immediately engaged in professional development and initiated the ground work developing a new strategic plan for the police service. 9 www.filehillspolice.ca

PART 3 STATISTICAL DATA ON FHFNPS 2014-2015 CASELOAD (4.9.1.C) As the Police Reported Crime statistics for Canada as a whole seem to be decreasing over time (see: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-002-x/2014001/article/14040-eng.htm#a1), the overall reported crime rates in the File Hills First Nations Police Services Jurisdiction tend to be constant and may be slightly increasing as depicted in the chart below in Figure 1. As the demographic make-up of First Nations communities differs from elsewhere, this may account for any disparity between the two measures. On the other hand reported violent crime is slowly deceasing as depicted in.figure 3.
