About Us

First Nations Policing was first established under a Community Tripartite Agreement signed in December, 1994, that provided for dedicated policing service to currently five First Nations communities. Several models were tried and eventually evolved into the File Hills First Nations Police Service which was incorporated on December 20th, 2002 as Saskatchewan’s first and only self-administered stand-alone police service.

The FHFNPS proudly carries on the traditional role of helpers and protectors from our First Nations ancestors. Serving five First Nations communities located in the Treaty Four Tribal Territory; Okanese FN; Peepeekisis FN; Carry the Kettle FN; Star Blanket FN and Little Black Bear FN, the members of the FHFNPS have taken oaths to protect and to work with the communities to enforce the laws of Canada as set out in the articles enshrined in Treaty #4, 1874 by the First Peoples’ signatory Tribal Chiefs and Her Majesty’s Government.
