There has to be a belief and a statement by the community on which direction they would like to go. If it is a self-administered police service they would like to know why a self-administered service is better than what we have now.
I'll use the province of Ontario as an example because I'm more familiar with Ontario. The Ontario Provincial Police have run the Ontario First Nations Policing Agreement for a number of years. A lot of our communities that are currently policed by my service fell out of that OFNPA agreement as a hope that they would have a more hands-on control of how policing is provided in their community rather than an organization out of Orillia saying, “Here's how it's going to be offered to you and you have to accept it”. This way, having that ability to help direct the service and what they see as their priorities gives them a feeling of ownership. That's key to them accepting the police service over something that's been mandated on them.
