In the models I'm familiar with, the RCMP and the Saskatoon Police Service have aboriginal advisory committees working with the leadership of those police forces and tackling the very tough issues.
Why are there not indigenous people joining the forces? First of all, the RCMP is struggling in attracting indigenous people to join the police force, as are the municipal police forces. The application system is lengthy and the process is detailed. The applicant requires assistance in going through the process.
