The Aboriginal Community Police Advisory Committee (ACPAC) works in partnership with the Greater Sudbury Police Service to ensure our services are culturally sensitive and responsive to the needs, safety, security, and rights of the Aboriginal community.
We are a learning organization committed to strengthening our relationship with Indigenous peoples, guided and supported by ACPAC.
In 2005, ACPAC helped identify an opportunity to build positive relationships with Indigenous youth. This led to the creation of the MKWA Opportunity Education Circle, a partnership with the four local school boards in Greater Sudbury. The program provides Indigenous students interested in a career in the justice sector with meaningful learning experiences, including opportunities to participate in ride‑along programs with our officers.
The ACPAC has been instrumental in the development and launch of both the Looking Ahead to Build the Spirit of Our Women - Learning to Live Free from Violence Strategy and the Indigenous Women and Girls Missing Persons Toolkit and Resource Guide.
