Poll

The Blood Tribe Police Service is confirming the Blood Tribe council, with the assistance of the Housing department and occasional assistance of the BTPS, has stepped up efforts to close up local drug houses as opioid overdoses have surged on the First Nation in recent months. “It is the community’s initiative in conjunction with the police and Housing,” confirms Insp.
