Chief says ‘there’s hardly any policing presence’ in Gamètì – Cabin Radio
April 10, 2026
The chief of Gamètì says police presence in the community has gone down in recent months, creating problems in the absence of a permanent detachment.
Chief Doreen Arrowmaker told Cabin Radio 80 calls were received in March this year, up from 40 the same month in 2025.
Leaders in the fly-in Tłı̨chǫ community of roughly 300 people have long advocated for a local RCMP detachment. Officers currently travel in from other communities, but Arrowmaker said those visits have become less frequent.
