Show Notes

Insp Dawn Blake - Tsuut’ina Nation Police Service

A proud Cayuga woman from the Six Nations of the Grand River in southern Ontario, she has carried her heritage forward throughout her law enforcement career, beginning with 12 years in the RCMP before joining TNPS in 2010. Today, Insp Blake leads the TNPS Operations Section with vision, strength, and compassion.

Her impact goes beyond her role: from developing prevention strategies and youth-focused programs to advocating for Indigenous equity in policing. She's also been recognized with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal and Officer of the Year Award (FNCPA).
