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.
