Final planning is underway for an Indigenous pre-cadet training program where interested youth across the country attend a three-week training session at the RCMP’s Depot Division in Regina.
“I do see when I go to the communities and people say to me, ‘I want to see our people represented in the policing in our communities, of public safety in our communities,’ and I’d love to give that to them.” The RCMP is also working on an internal plan to enhance its response to target and disrupt the illicit drug and alcohol trade in the territory. Lecky said interdicting, intelligence gathering and training will be key parts of the plan.
In January, the N.W.T.’s chief coroner, Garth Eggenberger, reported there were six such deaths in the town in 2022, largely involving crack cocaine contaminated with fentanyl or carfentanil. Comparatively, there were five opioid toxicity deaths across the territory in 2016, one in 2017, two in 2018, one in 2019, and three in both 2020 and 2021.Article content
