The Manitoba Public Safety Institute at Assiniboine College, in partnership with the Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNP), celebrated 10 new First Nations Police Officers at their graduation event last Friday in Southport.
These graduates are part of the first intake of police (post hired) training recruit students in the Assiniboine partnership with MFNP, with the new program representing another significant milestone in the growth of Public Safety Training at Assiniboine.
The successful completion of the program was confirmed by Manitoba Justice, which has endorsed the curriculum, ensuring that graduates meet the criteria for police officer appointment with Manitoba First Nations Police.
“I’d like to congratulate the graduating class for completing the comprehensive training at Assiniboine College, which will equip them with the tools they need to excel on the job. Our government is proud to support the expansion of First Nations policing as part of a commitment to reconciliation and fostering nation-to-nation relationships. We will continue to support the exceptional work officers do day in and day out to keep their communities safe.” said Matt Wiebe, Minister of Justice for the Province of Manitoba.
