Just days after news that Jason Stonechild has resigned from the Prince Albert Police Service, the discussion now turns to who will replace him. A number of voices from Prince Albert’s Indigenous community are calling on the city to make a considered and responsible choice.
In a statement provided to the media, PAGC Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte said it will be difficult to replace someone who has spent his entire career with this police service and cultivated such deep ties to the people and community of Prince Albert.
“He has served as a key liaison in strengthening our relationship with the PAPS, and we can only hope that the next person in charge will be able to understand the complex issues facing our Indigenous people with the same level of compassion, understanding, and respect,” Hardlotte said.
