T3PS Responds to Incident in Onigaming First Nation
FROM: General Headquarters
Onigaming First Nation – On June 8, 2025, members of the Treaty Three Police Service (T3PS) responded to a report of an assault in Onigaming First Nation.
During emergency response, the accused barricaded himself inside a residence with two family members. Members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT), comprised of officers from both T3PS and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), attended the scene. The OPP Canine Unit also provided support.
Following approximately three hours of negotiation, the individual was taken into custody without further incident.
Due to the nature of the incident, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate. As such, T3PS will not be providing further comment at this time to avoid interfering with the ongoing investigation.
We thank the community for its patience and cooperation and acknowledge the efforts of all involved officers, including those from the joint ERT and the OPP Canine Unit.
Treaty Three Police Service is a self-administered policing entity under the First Nations Policing Program in Canada, responsible for full policing duties within the Treaty #3 territory.
