About N.A.P.S.

The NAPS First Nations Police Association (NFNPA) was founded in 2024 and represents the collective bargaining interests, along with the well-being, of its Uniform and Civilian membership.

“The Nishnawbe Aski Police Service (NAPS) is Canada’s largest Indigenous police service, dedicated to the safety, security, and well-being of the communities it serves within the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) territory in northern Ontario.

Established in 1994, NAPS was born out of the need for culturally sensitive policing for NAN communities, guided by a profound respect for Indigenous values, traditions, and ways of life.” www.naps.ca

As an independent Not-For-Profit Corporation, a Police Association has a unique fiduciary responsibility to promote the profession of policing; the NFNPA will advocate for, and represent, our Members in both public and workplace forums.
