Westbank First Nation Laws are enforced by WFN Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs), who work closely with the RCMP, Conservation Officers, Fire Services, and other service providers to enhance and serve WFN residents.

Three RCMP First Nation Policing officers are dedicated specifically to WFN Lands. WFN LEOs are designated Peace Officers and therefore do not have authority to arrest or detain; nor do they carry a firearm for personal protection. If there is a possibility of physical harm, contact the RCMP or call 911.

This applies to all persons either with status or without.
