 Members of Treaty Three Police are appointed as First Nations Constables by the Commissioner of the OPP pursuant to s.54 of the Police Services Act.They have the powers of a police officer for the purpose of carrying out duties specified in their appointments and under federal law have the powers and protections of peace officers.Because First Nations Constables are not police officers as defined by the Police Services Act, their status in law is different but equal to that of a police officer.
