Equipment

All Detachments are equipped with computer systems, fleetnet radio communications, GPS system and BAC Datamasters. The Service has a fleet of police vehicles, including 4-wheel drive standard police vehicles, trucks and SUV's, a boat, ATVs, and snowmobiles.

The members are trained and have successfully completed either the R.C.M.P. Recruit Course or a recruit training course from a provincially recognized agency such as Winnipeg Police Service or Brandon Police Service.

Currently we have been recruiting from the Police Studies Program at Assiniboine Community College, which is supported by Brandon Police Service. The program is an intensive 8-month preparation program (Phase A Training) for individuals pursuing a law enforcement career.

The program has been designed to provide police candidates with exposure to the many varied aspects of policing, including the study of police powers and procedures, community policing, physical training, conflict management, interviewing, investigating and youth in trouble with the law.

The successful candidate, once hired by Dakota Ojibway Police Service, will proceed to the next step, Phase B. Phase B includes an additional six weeks of training in areas of Driving, Fire-arms, and control tactics.

Additional in-service training is offered through the Canadian Police College in Ottawa, Brandon Police Service, R.C.M.P., Winnipeg Police Service, Provincial Office of the Fire Commission and First Nations Chiefs of Police Association.

Dakota Ojibway Police Service Detachments are all equipped with internet service and the implementation of the Command Force Records Management System.

All employees received training in Command Force in October 2007 and the Police Service began entering their current operation files into the system in January 2008.

All Dakota Ojibway Police Service Detachments are connected to the Centralized Dispatch Service (E911).
