ISN Maskwa offers Indigenous individuals the opportunity to train and become Peacekeepers or By-Law Enforcement in an effort to protect their communities. This training is built up from the Community Support Personnel Evacuation Specialist training with two additional trainings; Non-Physical Crisis Intervention and Control and Defensive Tactics.

During the 14-day course, 16 students train with an advanced team of trainers to become the best that they can be for their communities. They are all trained to protect in a culturally sensitive manner to provide safety and enforcement in their communities in a professional and respectful way.

The course provides training and certification in the following areas:

  • Intermediate First Aid and CPR
  • Mental Health First Aid (with a focus on Indigenous communities)
  • Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
  • Search and Rescue
  • Security
  • Non-Physical Crisis Intervention
  • Control and Defensive Tactics

Over the course of the training, students study in class and practice hands on techniques to help protect them in their line of work.
