Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations listed the following expectations First Nations chiefs have of the federal government in the wake of multiple incidents across Canada where Indigenous peoples were put at risk due to the actions and inactions of the RCMP.

• Civilian oversight with genuine disciplinary powers
• The Minister of Public Safety and the commissioner be responsible for delivering ant-racism training and education that produces results
• The minister must deliver organizational and systemic change within the RCMP from the top to the bottom to effectively address and eliminate discriminatory practices and mindsets
• Minister of public safety must work with First Nations to articulate clear expectations and actual performance standards for non-discriminatory, anti-racist policing
• Body cameras: They must be on at all time and officers must face discipline or dismissal for having switched off their cameras
• Zero tolerance for excessive use of force
• Better recruitment and training protocols: Racism and bias needs to be identified and called out early; officers need to be taught how to properly de-escalate conflicts
• Increased wages and incentives for experienced officers to stay in rural detachments: Encouraging more mature police to remain in the detachments where they know the people and the problems will inevitably lead to calmer more respectful relations both ways
