About LRPS

The Lakeshore Regional Police Service was established in 2008 and is responsible for all policing services on the five First Nations of Sawridge First Nation, Swan River First Nation, Driftpile Cree Nation, Sucker Creek First Nation and Kapawe’no First Nation. The police officers and civilian employees work closely with these First Nations’ members to prevent and solve crime, promote safety, and protect their Nations. The police officers focus on the priorities in their Nations and partner with First Nations’ community groups to create sustainable change.

The LRPS has full police officer authority as granted under the Alberta Police Act and consists of a Chief of Police, two Inspectors, two Sergeants, ten Constables, three Administrative Support staff, a Human Resource Coordinator, a Crime Prevention Coordinator, and two Victim Services Workers.
