2019-2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Central Region Report Boo Shoo and hello again, I am pleased to present to you my eighth annual report as Inspector for the NAPS Central Region amid these unprecedented times as we learn to cope with life during this COVID-19 Pandemic. First of all, for the new leadership that’s joining us this year, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Alexander Missewace (Nate) and I am a proud member of Eabametoong First Nation. I have vast experience in policing our NAN communities which has better enabled me to understand the needs of policing Indigenous communities. I commenced my policing career in Eabametoong back in 1995 as a police constable through the OPP First Nations Police Program. In February of 1998, I joined the Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service. Since then, I have held various positions within the NishnawbeAski Police Service. These positions include, Constable, Senior Constable, Detachment Supervisor, Detective Constable, Sergeant, Acting Inspector and Acting Deputy Chief of Police. In 2001 to 2003, I was a member of the NAPS Board of Directorship representing the Matawa Tribal Council and held the title of Tribunal Judge during my tenure on the NAPS Board. My primary responsibility is to oversee the operational and administration delivery of our policing services to our communities to reinforce the continued building of relationships through protecting and serving.
