Who We Are

MFNPS-Manitoba First Nations Police Service - Two officers standing with Police cruiser

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service is hard at work in First Nation Communities across the province. All of the First Nations communities we serve have their own unique cultures and traditions. For this reason, our MFNPS organization is built by us, and for us, to honour and respect our cultures, our understandings and our traditions.

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service engages at all levels to meet community needs, using approaches that combines support, education, enforcement, and crime prevention.

Our foremost goal is to provide caring and trusted community responsive policing to be the police service of choice for First Nations communities in Manitoba.

WE NOW POLICE 12 FIRST NATION COMMUNITIES!

April 14, 2026 — Jason Colon was officially sworn in as Chief of Police for the Manitoba First Nations Police Service.

Chief Colon has served as Interim Chief since January 2025, after the sudden passing of late Chief of Police Doug Palson, providing stability and leadership during a period of transition. In September of 2025, the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council Police Commission selected Jason Colon as Chief Designate following an extensive national search.

During his career, he held the rank of Inspector with the MFNPS and senior and frontline roles with the Blood Tribe Police Service, Dakota Ojibway Police Service, and Winnipeg Police Service, building more than 27 years of diverse policing experience across First Nations and municipal contexts.
