On July 20th, 2024, the Manitoba First Nations Police were conducting pro-active traffic enforcement in the community of Opaskwayak Cree Nation. While attempting a traffic stop, a vehicle fled at a high rate of speed. Due to concerns for the safety of community members, police did not pursue the vehicle.

 

A short time later, police located the vehicle abandoned in the Abraham subdivision. Police Service Dog (PSD) Ceto was deployed in the area. A successful track led to the location and arrest of William Alexander Buck. He was charged with the following offences:

 

·       Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle

·       Flight from Peace Officer

·       Resist / Obstruct Police Officer

·       Drive while disqualified (Highway Traffic Act)

 

Buck was later released on several conditions along with a scheduled Court appearance in October 2024. Buck failed to appear in Court and a warrant for his arrest was issued.

 

To this date, attempts to locate William Buck have been unsuccessful.

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.
