January 26-27, 2006 OPP Event

The OPP session focused on First Nations policing and OPP initiatives in building relationships with First Nations communities. The OPP's background paper, "Framework for Police Preparedness to Aboriginal Critical Incidents," was discussed. Session participants included OPP Commissioner Gwen Boniface, recently retired Chief of Police Wes Luloff of Nishnawbe-Aski Police Services, and others. The background material for the session is available below.

This event was the first of two special presentations to the Inquiry on issues relevant to the Inquiry's Policy and Research mandate. The second presentation by the Chiefs of Ontario was held on March 8 and 9, 2006.

The Inquiry invited the Ontario Provincial Police and the Chiefs of Ontario to organize these sessions because it believes that the Commissioner, counsel, parties, and the public will benefit from hearing each organization's unique, provincial perspective on Policy and Research issues.

The OPP distributed extensive materials for the presentation including the background paper, "Framework for Police Preparedness for Aboriginal Critical Incidents" and several appendices to the background paper. These materials are linked below.
