Swan Lake First Nation just experienced a transfer of policing services from the RCMP to Manitoba First Nations Police Service.

Inspector Dave Scott explains the community put in a Band Council Resolution, and wanted to have Manitoba First Nations Police their communities.

Scott notes the community likes the community-based policing that MFNPS offers. He adds they're super-excited about moving forward with Swan Lake, and says they actually policed there a number of years ago.

He adds the transfer is complete, with IT information, computers, etc., all installed. Scott says they're beginning operation on May 31st.
