  The Grand Chief of Treaty 8 is lobbying the provincial government for an Indigenous police service for First Nations covered by the treaty. Treaty 8 includes all First Nations in the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo area. Treaty 8 Grand Chief Arthur Noskey said in an interview he pitched the northern First Nation police service in March. The idea is a response to the Rural Alberta Provincial Integrated Defence (RAPID) Response initiative, which is opposed by Treaty 8 leaders. The RAPID Response initiative allows Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Service (FWES) officers to help the RCMP during emergency and high-priority calls. Treaty 8 leaders have accused FWES officers of harassing Indigenous people when practicing treaty-protected hunting or fishing.
