Stoney Nakoda - Tsuut'ina Tribal Council Ltd.

Published purpose

The Tsuut’ina Nation has an established self-administered police service, the Tsuut’ina Nation Police Service (TNPS), since 2004 and is a part of the Group of Four (G4) Nations, which includes the Stoney Nakoda Nations; Goodstoney, Bearspaw, and Chiniki. Since 2009, the G4 Nations have engaged in activities to create a prosperous economy which has resulted in economic growth and an innovative vision of the Indigenous economy. This project will fund an economic development study and the coordination of engagement sessions conducted by the Stoney Nakoda - Tsuut'ina Tribal Council Ltd. This project will produce an analysis on the relationship between economic development activities and community safety and explore the factors that influence community safety and policing needs on First Nation communities which are located close to urban centres. In turn, this will determine the results of effective policing on community safety and economic prosperity of First Nation communities and a discussion paper will be provided on the evidence gathered from self-administered police services to inform future policing models supported by the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program (FNIPP) Terms and Conditions (T&C).
