Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) Traffic Enforcement Initiative

On October 23, 2026, members of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service conducted an MPI Traffic Enforcement Initiative in Fisher River Cree Nation, which resulted in one arrest, along with Provincial Offence Notices, licence suspensions and warnings.

During the initiative, officers stopped 31 vehicles and checked 33 individuals.

As a result, members took the following actions:

·        Issued three warnings;

·        Arrested one individual for drug-impaired driving;

·        Issued two 72-hour administrative driver’s licence suspensions;

·        Issued nine Provincial Offence Notices; and

·        Conducted three Approved Drug Screening Equipment (ADSE) demands.

The ADSE results included:

·        One positive for cocaine and cannabis, leading to a criminal drug-impaired driving investigation resulting in a drug-impaired driving arrest;

·        One positive for cocaine, resulting in a 72-hour driver’s licence suspension; and

·        One positive for cannabis, resulting in a 72-hour driver’s licence suspension.



Provincial Offence Notices issued included driving without motor vehicle liability insurance, failing to have proper lights under The Off-Road Vehicles Act, and failing to comply with driver’s licence restrictions/conditions.

Police also issued two Provincial Offence Notices each for unlawful transportation of liquor in or on a motor vehicle, failure to produce a driver’s licence, and speeding.
