Constable Leonard Isaac and Sergeant Dale Austinson respond to call about a possible bear sighting. Stl’atl’imx Tribal Police are armed and trained to face danger, but supporting and listening to community members is also a key part of wearing a uniform. Constable Dwayne Honeyman patrols a public beach for alcohol, and talks about the importance of community oriented policing. Constable Deborah Doss-Cody participates in a drumming circle at a school as a way of connecting positively with kids. The job does have dangers and families worry about the officers, especially when they go out to areas with no cell phone reception. They consider good communication in tense situations as verbal judo.

TRIBAL POLICE FILES documents First Nations police services and their unique approach to protecting their communities while working for a brighter future. Dealing with the daily challenges of life on-duty and rebuilding their communities, officers share the most dangerous moments they have faced in the line of duty, while stressing the importance of cultural practices in staying strong for their families. Season 1 features the Stl'atl'imx Tribal Police serving 10 St'at'imc communities around Lillooet, BC.
