Quebec Association of First Nation and Inuit Police Directors

What Quebec Association of First Nation and Inuit Police Directors does

The Quebec Association of First Nation and Inuit Police Directors (ADPPNIQ) is a non-profit professional association founded in 2021 and headquartered at 650 rue Max Gros-Louis in Wendake, Quebec. It serves as the unified spokesperson and collaborative network for all 22 First Nations and Inuit police services operating across communities in Quebec, including Odanak, Kebaowek, Kitigan Zibi, Lac-Simon, Pikogan, Timiskaming, Manawan, Opitciwan, Wemotaci, Eeyou Eenou, Wendake, Essipit, Mashteuiatsh, Pakua Shipi, Pessamit, Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam, Gesgapegiag, Listuguj, Akwesasne, Kahnawá:ke, Naskapi, and Nunavik. The association is governed by an executive committee comprising President Jean Duchesneau (Director of the Service de police de Wendake), Vice-Presidents Dwayne Zacharie (Chief Peace Officer of Kahnawá:ke since 2004) and Annick Wylde (Director of the Service de police de Pikogan), and Director General Pierre Simard, a 29-year Sûreté du Québec veteran.

ADPPNIQ provides operational and administrative support, training and professional development, political representation, communication and outreach (including a Spotify podcast and social media presence), and strategic support including crisis management and government relations to its member police services. Strategic partnerships with the École nationale de police du Québec, Réseau Intersection, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Sûreté du Québec, and the Commission Viens anchor its work in training, advocacy, and policy influence.

The organization is funded through public-sector and government channels typical of non-profit associations, with no commercial products, pricing models, technology stack, or revenue-generating operations. Its competitive position rests on its mandate as the sole umbrella body for all 22 First Nations and Inuit police services in Quebec, giving it a natural monopoly on collective representation for Indigenous policing in the province.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP): The global professional association for police leadership. IACP operates in the same member-based advocacy and training space as ADPPNIQ but at international scale and without an Indigenous-community focus.
• Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP): The national association for Canadian police chiefs of all jurisdictions. CACP is the broader incumbent in the same professional-association space ADPPNIQ operates in, but without the Indigenous-specific mandate.

Direct peers

• First Nations Chiefs of Police Association (Canada): The national-level Indigenous police chiefs association in Canada; ADPPNIQ's VP Dwayne Zacharie was elected its president in 2016. It is the closest functional analogue to ADPPNIQ at the federal level.
• Association des chefs de police des Premières Nations du Québec: The provincial First Nations police chiefs association of which ADPPNIQ's VP Dwayne Zacharie served as president in 2013. It overlaps directly with ADPPNIQ in mandate, representing Indigenous police leadership in Quebec.

Others

• Aboriginal Policing Directorate (Public Safety Canada): The federal government directorate responsible for Indigenous policing policy and the First Nations and Inuit Policing Program. It is a key counterpart/funder to ADPPNIQ rather than a competitor, shaping the regulatory and funding environment ADPPNIQ operates in.

Emerging players

• BC First Nations Justice Council: A BC-based Indigenous-led body advancing Indigenous justice, including policing reform. Comparable to ADPPNIQ as a regional Indigenous justice/policing advocate, but with a broader justice-system scope and different provincial context.
