UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 3 Message from the Chief of Police

Ahnii,

It is always a pleasure being able to provide a report on behalf of the UCCM Anishnaabe Police, and this year’s report marks the 3rd year term of our current Police Agreement. The industry has seen a lot of changes over the past year and it is our responsibility to keep abreast of those changes in order to be an effective and efficient police service.

The commencement of the Strategy for a Safer was introduced early in the year and was described as a blue print for effective, sustainable, and community based policing. The initiative sought to develop a sustainable framework for policing in Ontario. Other significant changes included legislation to protect First Responders with PTSD took effect in April 2016, and a regulation within the Police Services Act to safeguard the public from bias or discrimination during Voluntary Interactions more commonly known as Street Checks.

Community mobilization remains on the forefront of the UCCM Anishnaabe Police, through the efforts of the Social Navigator, and the high-risk situation table, which connects and supports people at risk. It would be our goal to see the decriminalization of mental illnesses and reduction of the indigenous people entering in our justice system. This would provide the foundation for not only a healthier, but also a safer community.

For this reporting period I would also like to acknowledge Senior Constable Dave Mack for his 20 years of service award. Being a police officer is a very difficult position because of the demands placed on an individual in this job.The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service says miigwech to his continued years of service, and looks forward to continue to working with Senior Constable, Dave Mack.

As always I’m grateful for the ongoing support of our community leadership, the UCCM Police Services Commission and of course the dedication of all uniform and civilian staff. As a team of law enforcement professionals we look forward to meeting the needs of our communities.

Miigwetch,

Rodney Nahwegahbow Chief of Police

Page 4 UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Message from the Chairperson

Another year has passed and there have been major changes within the organization, at a governance level. The UCCM Police Services Commission has to say though, that with the changes there is always room for improvements to be made.

The biggest change for this year was to the UCCM Police Services Commission By-Law No.1. This was encouraged by the UCCMM leadership, and it is to ensure that the By-Law remains relevant and reflects the growing and changing times pertaining to police services. The UCCM Police Services Commission By Law #1 will continue to address and provide the guidance necessary for the application of good governance practices while clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the members of the UCCM Police Services Commission.

Another change that occurred to the UCCM Police Services Commission was the appointment of the Commission’s Elder Representative. The Commission welcomed the appointment of Elder Bill Antoine, who brought his years of experience as a community leader, his invaluable knowledge of the teachings of the seven Grandfathers and gifts of the Anishnaabe language and culture will fulfill the commitment to promoting theAnishnaabe way.

There is not enough time and space to reflect on all the changes but I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the UCCM Police Services Commission for their dedication, loyalty and commitment to providing a police service that will serve and protect the communities being served.

However, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge and thank the police service officers, Chief of Police Rodney Nahwegahbow and the administration and civilian staff who live and stand by our vision to “be a partner in community wellness by providing proactive, culturally sensitive, and innovative service while respecting existing laws customs and traditions.”

Meegwetch,

Peter “Benji” Nahwegahbo UCCM Police Services Commission Chairperson

UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 5 UCCM Police Services Commission

The United Chiefs and Councils of Manitoulin (UCCM) Police Services Commission is comprised of Commission Members assigned by the Member First Nations of the United Chiefs and Councils of Mnidoo Mnising (UCCMM). These First Nations are Aundeck Omni Kaning, M’Chigeeng, Sheguiandah, Sheshegwaning, Whitefish River, and Zhiibaahaasing. There is also one Commission Member who is designated as the Elder Representative, and is there to provide guidance and insight to the Commission through their knowledge of the language and teachings. The assigned Commission Members provide governance and direction to the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service, and supervise the Chief of Police. They are accountable to the Chiefs and Councils of their First Nations and provide information on the governance of the UCCM Police Services Commission and the activities of the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service.

The current Commission Members are as follows:

• Peter Nahwegahbo, Chairperson, Aundeck Omni Kaning • Christine Bigras, Vice-Chairperson, Zhiibaahaasing • Don Francis, Secretary/Treasurer, Whitefish River • Elizabeth Laford, Commission Member, Sheshegwaning • Alison Aguonie, Commission Member, Sheguiandah • Vacant, Commission Member, M’Chigeeng • Bill Antoine, Elder Representative, Zhiibaahaasing

At the beginning of this fiscal year, the UCCM Police Services introduced the final Strategic Plan for the organization. The Strategic Plan set the goals for the coming year for the UCCM Police Services Commission and the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service. One of the main focuses for the 2016/2017 year for the UCCM Police Services Commission was to improve the overall communication to the First Nation communities that each Commission Member represented. Another focus was to develop a new orientation plan for new Commission Members. Both of the goals were very important but, the UCCM Police Services Commission through consultation with the UCCMM Tribal Council Board of Directors, realized that the first step to begin to improve communication both internally and externally was to review and revise By-Law No. 1 of the UCCM Police Services.

By-Law No. 1 provides the UCCM Police Services Commission with direction on how they need to operate, their duties, and their responsibilities as a Commission.

Page 6 UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 To complete the revisions for By-Law No. 1, the UCCM Police Services Commission conducted a number of meetings throughout the 2016/2017 year. The UCCM Police Services Commission met 15 times; not always regarding By-Law No. 1, but during these meetings the Commission determined that the best course of action to review and revise By-Law No.1 would be to hire external consultants, who could provide an objective review of the By-Law. In January 2017, the consul- tants provided a final report on their review of By-Law No. 1, and their final draft of the revised By-Law No. 1.

After a careful of review by the UCCM Police Services Commission of By-Law No. 1, the UCCM Police Services Commission determined that further edits needed to be completed, and as of March 31, 2017, the final draft for By-Law No. 1 was not completed. The main goal for the coming year for the UCCM Police Services Commission is to complete and pass the updated By-Law No. 1 as well as meet their obligations with the organization’s strategic plan, and continue to provide supervision and guidance to the Chief of Police.

UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 7 Enaag-Dawaab-Jig

Enaag-Dawaab-Jig is a committee that was developed to ensure that the goal of public confidence and accountability continues to be met. The committee members were recruited and are comprised of five First Nation community members from . A coordinator, Denis Blake was also hired to provide them with guidance in the development of the committee. The committee also developed guidelines and policies for civilian oversight and they are pleased to offer this redress service to anyone who may have a complaint outcome that they are not satisfied with, that was dealt through the UCCM Police Services Commission formal complaints process.

Enaag-Dawaab-Jig can also make recommendations to the UCCM Police Services Commission on ways to improve the Police Service thereby offering civilian oversight to the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service. During the 2016-2017 fiscal year, Enaag-Dawaab-Jig did not review any complaints, as they were all resolved through the standard UCCM Anishnaabe Police complaints process.

The committee did meet throughout the year as they were keeping up to date with procedures and attended training sessions organized by their Coordinator.

Page 12 UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Learning and Growth

Mental Health First Aid First is designed to encourage and have participants be trained to have an open and honest conversation about mental health with family, friends, co-workers and others. It is part of a larger journey that helps strengthens the connections within our communities in which we serve. UCCM Police Staff earned their Mental Health First Aid Certificates and this training allowed them the opportunity to reflect on their life and work experiences.

Block Training focusses on firearms training, including additional movement and turning drills. Officers are also tested in their readiness by incorporating live firearm simulation training into the scenarios giving operators the opportunity to test their abilities and limitations. Block Training occurs during the night and day, and is mandatory training twice a year.

Another area that the organization focused on this year was supporting the employees training and developments. Highlighted below are both the in-service training, and conferences that the employees attended. This year the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service has supported and delivered other training in the following areas:

Page 20 UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 In addition to the training listed and outlined above, it was important for the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service to encourage cultural development for the employees. As an Anishnaabe organization that provides services to Anishnaabe people, a strong focus for the year for the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service was to create a safe and respectful police learning environment in all areas, including cultural knowledge and Anishnaabemowin, for the benefit of staff well-being. Below is an outline of the learning and growth that occurred for the staff at the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service in the areas of cultural development.

Cultural Development

105 hours were dedicated to cultural awareness training this year from UCCM Anishnaabe Police staff. Some of the training included seasonal ceremonies, Sundance ceremonies, water teachings, eagle staff teachings and drum teachings. The staff also had an opportunity to meet with a Traditional Healer, and attend a sweat lodge at their comfort. 8 staff members met with the traditional healer, and 6 staff members attended the sweat lodge. Also this past winter and spring, traditional drum and song teachings were instructed by Craig Fox to seven UCCM Anishnaabe Police officers. The officers practice their teachings on the organization’s drum, Makwaa Odehmin, and hold weekly drum nights. The UCCM Anishnaabe Police also wanted to ensure that signs were put up throughout the building that were in Anishnaabemowin. This year the UCCM Anishnaabe Police had two new custom signs, created by local artist Kathryn Corbiere, installed in public areas of the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service building. Two signs stating, Aanii Biindigan, “Hello, come in” were installed on the front of the building and on the arbor.

UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 21 In addition to the two signs located in exterior areas of the building, the Seven Grandfather teachings were put up on the wall of the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service Boardroom.

The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Commission Elder, advised that this was important to have, as it is a reminder as to how the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service and the UCCM Police Services Commission should conduct themselves when providing services to the UCCMM communities, and governance to the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service.

The traditional knowledge and cultural development, as well as mainstream training allow the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service to provide the best policing services to the UCCMM communities. This year the organization decided to take on a more proactive approach to policing. A lot of the proactive measures that the organization completed were done through the Community Services Officer, Murray Still. Below is an outline of the many activities that the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service either participated in or coordinated, under the Community Services division.

Community Services

Bicycle Helmet Give away:

The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service partnered with the Ontario Safety League, Ministry of transportation, and the Ontario Provincial Police to keep the youth safe within our First Nation communities. The four organizations attended Lakeview School in M’Chigeeng and distributed 750 bicycle helmets to the students.

In addition to the presentation of the helmets, the students received a safety demonstration from the Manitoulin Injury prevention coalition. Other representatives from other schools also attended this day and received helmets for their students, so that no one was missed.

Presentations

Community Services Officer Murray Still attended various schools and daycares and communities with a series of anti-bullying presentations. These presentations included cyber bullying, bullying in sports, etc., these presentations included general information and consequences in schools and bullying. The presentations were well received by all attendees.

Page 22 UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Cultural Events/Niigan Mosewak/Fall Harvest

Pow Wows

This year the Community Services Officer and Special Constable Victor Pitawanakwat attended the various pow wows in the service area – CSO Still and Special Constable Pitawanakwat, as well as other Officers took part in representing UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service by carrying the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service Eagle Staff and enjoyed visiting the dancers, booths and community members. Officers attending the pow wows are very well received by the community members, as the community members enjoy talking to the officers and getting to know them.

Niigan Mosewak Summer Camp

This year Constable Bonnie Pichoski attended the Niigan Mosewak Youth Program Camp in Trout Creek, as a new officer Constable Pichoski really enjoyed herself and enjoyed the time with the youth and organizers of the camp. Youth from all over Ontario attend this camp for cultural teachings and outdoor activities. The camp is hosted by the First Nations Policing branch of the Ontario Provincial Police with other First Nations Police Officers attending as mentors.

Kenjgewin Teg Fall Harvest

This year’s haul was very successful with Sheguiandah First Nation winning the prize. All food and toys were given to the Manitoulin Family Resources Food Bank for their food hampers in which they delivered over 700 food hampers across the Island to local communities.

Safety Symposiums 2016

This year, the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service and Gchi Nino Naadmaadawin Teg, under the direction of the Social Navigator, hosted a Safety Symposium to showcase Cyber Safety/Internet Safety, Human Trafficking, and “Draw the Line” – Assault and Sexual Abuse information sessions. The sessions were well attended, and the First Nation community members appreciated the information that was presented.

Among our many events that we attend, we again took part in the Annual Pancake Breakfast at Lakeview School for their winter carnival. UCCM Anishnaabe Police Staff cooked up a storm of pancakes with the help from Seasons Restaurant who cooked all the sausages for the event. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast.

Snowmobile Instructors Course

This year CSO Murray Still attended the Snowmobile Instructors Course at Sudbury Regional Police Training Centre in Azilda. The course was put on by the Canadian Safety Council with the intentions of offering snowmobile safety course within our First Nation communities.

General Activities

In addition to the above events and programs, UCCM Anishnaabe Police Officers have been seen in the communities visiting elders, and spending time with youth. It is important beyond the designated programs for the officers to interact with the UCCMM community members in a positive and proactive manner. This is encouraged by the UCCM Police Services Commission and the Chief of Police, as relationship building is important when providing policing services to the community members.

The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service completed a lot of proactive programs for the UCCMM communities. In addition to the Community Services Officer and other Officers participating in events in the communities, the Social Navigator also attends and coordinates many initiatives to assist the organization in providing services to the UCCMM communities.

UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 25 Social Navigator Initiative

The purpose of the Social Navigator initiative is to connect and support at-risk individuals or repeat offenders to appropriate services in the community. This is accomplished through early intervention, outreach and rapid responses.

The Social Navigator Initiative employs a multi-sectorial approach based on the Anishnaabe Clan Teachings and the understanding that everyone has a role in the communities.

The services that are offered through the program include:

Service Mobilization and Community Partners:

Internal Officer Referral & Routine Follow up: This is characterized by the Officer responding to a call or occurrence in one of the communities, she/he/they does their initial assessment and determines that other issues such as mental health, addictions, developmental issues, poverty, housing etc. may be impacting his/her/their ability to make good decisions. The Social Navigator mobilizes services for this individual.

# of referrals in: 54 # of referrals out: 64 Top areas of concern: People who are struggling with addictions or who have stopped following their wellness plan.

Gchi Mino Naadmaadwin Teg: This approach is the multi-sectorial high risk situation table. Representation includes partners appointed by Maamwi Naadamadaa and community representatives selected by Band Managers or appointed by Chiefs and Councils.

# of situations presented: 24 # of situations deemed acutely elevated risk: 17 # of anonymized consultations: 9 Nature of issues: It is not uncommon for situations at this level to be presenting with upwards of seven risk factors. The top three categories are Anti-Social/Problematic Behavior that is non-criminal coupled with substance abuse issues or mental health concerns.

Page 26 UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Maamwi Naadamadaa: The Social Navigator is responsible for the ongoing coordination of Maamwi Naadamadaa. Maamwi Naadamadaa is an opportunity for Senior Management of UCCMM Affiliate agencies and UCCMM Communities to meet on a regular basis to ensure that we are maximizing resource output in order to provide the best services possible to members.

External Networks: The Social Navigator is the founding member of the Mnidoo Mnising Youth Providers Network. This network creates an opportunity for those who work with youth to share expertise, collaborate, and support each other. Similarly, the Social Navigator actively represents the Police Service on other committee’s such as the Manitoulin Addictions and Mental Health Network and the Mental Health and Justice Sub-committee.

Education and Awareness at Community Events: A major component of the Social Navigator Initiative is to engage the public in proactive preventative services in partnership with the communities in our service area. The focus has been on violence prevention, addressing parent/child conflict, and working together to keep our communities safe. The Social Navigator is a civilian employee of the police service with direct supervision by the Chief of Police.

The Social Navigator Initiative and Community Services provides the proactive approach to policing to the UCCMM communities, but in policing there is a still a reactive component that needs to take place. The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service believes that there is a balance between the two, reactive and proactive policing.

Reactive Policing Tri-Force Drug Unit

The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service joined forces with the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Wikwemikong Tribal Police Service to combat the drug problem within the communities on Manitoulin Island. Each Police Service assigned an officer dedicated to work together to address the drug issues that were increasing on Manitoulin Island. The strategy to address the problem includes the sharing of intelligence information, and working together for improved efficiency and community support. Sharing of information is crucial in addressing the drug problem within the UCCMM communities, and it is known that the community assists in addressing the problem. The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service assigned Constable Mitchell Jacko to be part of the tri-force drug unit on Manitoulin Island. Constable Mitchell Jacko, started with the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service in 2013, and brings experience from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 27 Domestic Related Incidents

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women continues to be an issue on the forefront in policing, and the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service is doing their part in being proactive in their approach to address this concern. Statistics show that Indigenous women are more likely to be involved in a domestic situation which has been determined to be a contributing factor to the violence that has been inflected on Indigenous omen.W The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service held workshops last year through the Social Navigator Initiative and Community Services to recognize the signs of domestic violence and how to assist someone in that situation. The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service realizes that not all violence is inflicted on a woman, as a man can be the victim in a domestic situation as well. The information below outlines how the Police Service is taking a proactive approach to the rise in domestic related incidents.

2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Domestic Calls 78 85 96 105 95

Over the last five years, the occurrences for domestic related incidents have had a slight increase since 2012 with a small drop in 2016. These included charged, complete (non-criminal), unfounded, as well, as alcohol being a factor in roughly half of the incidents reported yearly.

There are two committees that all three police forces are involved in on Manitoulin Island. The Manitoulin Domestic Violence Court Advisory Committee and M’Nidoo Mnising Coalition Against Domestic Violence Committee.

M’Nidoo Mnising Coalition Against Domestic Violence Committee meets on a regular basis. Membership consists of a representative from all 3 police forces on Manitoulin Island, Wikwemikong Tribal Police, UCCM Anishnaabe Police and Manitoulin O.P.P.; other agencies are Probation and Parole, Manitoulin Family Resources, Victim Services, Victim Witness Assistance Program, Crown Attorneys’ office, PAR Rainbow Lodge, Wikwemikong Health Centre.

Over the last 5 years, the Coalition Committee have put on different events that are open to the public and held within the different communities throughout Manitoulin Island. Some of the events were: Sisters in Spirit – violence against Aboriginal Woman/Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women, Women’s Wellness Day, the month of November they held Lunch and Learns’ for public education on Woman Abuse Prevention Month and a December 6th Vigil. This committee continues to provide yearly campaigns to emphasize the ongoing need to address violence against women and its lasting effects.

In order to provide the policing services to the UCCMM communities there has to be a number of updates to the operations of the organization. In 2016 there were many updates that occurred within the organization, and they included the following:

Police Fleet

It is the Police Service’s responsibility to keep all fleet in good working condition, and our Maintenance Coordinator / Custodian takes cares of this. Currently the fleet size is 13 vehicles which are for both general patrol and administrative duty. In addition there are two all-terrain vehicles, two snow- mobiles and an enclosed trailer.

Two patrol vehicles were taken out of service, which were both the 2013 Ford Explorers. These units were retired to the Sheguiandah First Nation and Zhiibaahaasing First Nation.

In addition to the updates that were completed to the fleet for the organization, the organization has also had some updates in regards to information technology.

Information Technology

Over the past few years the RCMP has taken steps to digitize the fingerprinting process with the latest technology available to them. Through this initiative, police services across Canada are required to submit both criminal and civil fingerprints electronically to the RCMP. As a result, the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service has been using the LiveScan technology since early 2016. This process has been much easier for individuals to provide their fingerprints as they don’t have to deal with using the ink process anymore. The UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service has been able to conduct our fingerprint scanning for both criminal and civil purposes and has been working quite well.

However, there may be times when our system is down due to mechanical error, system errors or power outages and the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service determined it would be beneficial to have a back-up process. During this past year, an opportunity arose for the organization to enhance their electronic fingerprint system. In the event that the LiveScan unit is not operational, the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service has recently purchased a CardScan machine which will allow ink prints to be scanned into an electronic format. This system will provide a backup to the service as well as the potential of assisting other local police services that may encounter the same situation. This back-up system will provide a seamless process for all criminal and civil manners that involve fingerprints to be taken.

Overall the UCCM Anishnaabe Police Service works to provide the best and most culturally appropriate policing services to the UCCMM communities as much as possible. Unfortunately it may not always be seen that way. Below is an outline of the public complaints that the organization received for the year.

UCCM Anishnaabe Police Services Annual Report - 2016-2017 Page 31 Public Complaints

The UCCM Anishnaabe Police recognizes that all complaints coming from the public are to be taken seriously, which is why they follow the UCCM Police Services Commission Public Complaints Process. This year, the organization dealt with eight complaints in total. Outlined below are the complaints along with the results of the investigation.

Public and Internal Complaints 2016/2017 Complaint Category Total Public Complaints 8 Internal Complaints 0 Allegations of Misconduct Unlawful Exercise of Authority 2 Discreditable Conduct 2 Results of Investigation: Informal Resolution 4 Unsubstantiated 2 On-going 2
