REGINA – Regina Police Service and File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council (FHQTC) put in writing their commitment to each other.
Both parties signed a Co-operation and Community Safety Protocol Monday afternoon.
The document is intended to reflect the relationship between the FHQTC and Regina police, and to ensure the public safety of First Nations people in the Treaty Four region.
FHQTC vice-chairperson, Elaine Chicoose, said the protocol proves there is a good relationship between the parties and they can continue to work together in collaboration.
Chicoose also said the safety of First Nations people is always an issue.
Regina police Troy Hagen said they’ve operated effectively for years without a written protocol. However, the document specifies their role and responsibility.
“It brings some clarity, and enhances certain aspects of our relationship,” Hagen said.
“Its a clear demonstration of our resolve to our already enhanced working relationship and look to other opportunities to keep our community safe.”
