On August 23, 2025, just after 11:00 a.m. Manitoba First Nations Police Service officers were advised of a potentially stolen UTV on rural roads heading towards Sandy Bay First Nation.


Officers immediately attended to the area and located the 6x6 UTV stopped on road 51W in the RM of Westlake-Gladstone. A lone male occupant was taken into custody. While searching the male, police located numerous pieces of identification that did not belong to him. The UTV was reported stolen from Portage la Prairie later in the day.


33-year-old Adrian Jordan ROULETTE was charged with:

- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime less than $5000

- Possession of Property Obtained by Crime over $5000

Roulette was held in custody for court appearance at a later date.

The Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) is proud to announce that we now have full deployment and use of Axon body-worn cameras at all our 12 detachments. In 2025, we began a systematic deployment of this important technology one detachment at a time. The adoption of body-worn cameras represents a significant step forward in enhancing transparency, accountability, and community trust in policing. These devices provide an accurate and objective record of interactions between MFNPS officers and community members, strengthening public confidence while supporting officer safety and professionalism. “Body-worn cameras are an important tool that will help us continue building strong, positive relationships with the communities we serve,” said Chief of Police Jason Colon. The MFNPS utilizes this technology in a way that reflects our values and priorities. Training has been provided to officers to ensure responsible and effective use, aligned with best practices and the highest standards of policing.  The Manitoba First Nations Police Service remains committed to modernization and strengthening trust with the communities we serve through innovative tools, professional excellence, and cultural respect.
