Miigwech to Perry for sharing his vision and artistry with APS.
Different regions. Different opportunities. One shared commitment to Indigenous policing.
APS is hiring across Ontario with province-wide opportunities, competitive wages and pension, and northern recruitment incentives including our 10 on / 11 off schedule.

Earlier today, the Anishinabek Police Service launched a public awareness campaign to highlight the actions and behaviours used by abusers to harm and control survivors.
๐๐จ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ involves repeated acts of humiliation, intimidation, isolation, exploitation, manipulation to control or dominate you by making you feel afraid, ashamed, anxious, unsure or upset. It is a pattern of behaviour aimed at maintaining power over an intimate partner and is frequently accompanied by acts of physical or sexual coercion.
And it isnโt an accident. Every time a person uses abusive behaviours, ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒโ๐ซ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ข๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ ๐ฌ๐จ.
When it comes to coercive control, the signs can be hard to spot because it often starts slowly or builds up over time. Please watch our social media accounts this week to learn more about โred flagโ behaviours you may notice.

The Anishinabek Police Service is pleased to announce the introduction of Project Aakodeโewin (Bravery) โ the Anishinaabe name for its new two-year pilot Victim Services Navigator Program.
The goal of Project Aakodeโewin is to increase the likelihood of equitable outcomes for members of our First Nation communities who are disproportionately impacted by crime and violence by ensuring they are connected to culturally grounded, dignified, Indigenous-led, trauma-informed, direct support and assistance. A first of its kind at APS, this program will greatly enhance the existing support framework for victims of crime.

On Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 1:55 pm, a test of Alert Ready will sound in Ontario as part of Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9, 2026).
The Alert Ready emergency alert test will be broadcast on television, radio and compatible wireless devices connected to an LTE or 5G network. The test message will simulate an emergency alert, beginning with an alert tone. The message will indicate that it is a test and does not require action from the public.
Please do not call 9-1-1 for information about the test. Using 9-1-1 for non-emergency calls could delay help for people experiencing real emergencies.
Those living with intimate partner violence may have an emergency cell phone hidden. During the Alert Ready test, these phones will go off, potentially putting lives at risk. If you are using a hidden phone or tablet as part of your personal safety planning, take steps now to stay safe during the alert: be sure to power these devices off to avoid discovery.
