About Us
The Quebec Association of First Nation and Inuit Police Directors was created in 2019 but formally took off in 2021. The QAFNIPD's main mission is to support and represent as a single voice Quebec First Nations and Inuit public safety professionals in their development to better serve their communities. The First Nations people of the Province of Quebec constitute all the peoples established on the territory of Quebec prior to the French colonization of America. They include Abenaki, Iroquoian, Anishinabeg, Atikamekw, Cree, Huron-Wendat, Innu, Inuit, Maliseet, Mi'gmaq, Mohawk, and Naskapi. These eleven First Nations are spread across the entire territory of Quebec within 55 communities.
Be the indispensable reference point in matters of Indigenous policing services for its members, the police community, and government authorities.
