Matrimonial Real Property Training Program
Online Training
The FNCPA Matrimonial Real Property online training course has been designed specifically for First Nations police services as an introduction to Matrimonial Real Property (MRP) issues, legislation, and policing on First Nations territories.

- Narration
- Links to Resources

MRP Training-for-Trainers
The FNCPA is developing an MRP training-for-trainers workshop to assist training officers in member services to provide ongoing workshops and updates to First Nations police services officers. Given that First Nations may opt to develop their own MRP laws or may fall under the Federal Provisional Rules, local training is required to ensure that officers are aware of MRP laws in the communities in which they work.
The training-for-trainers workshops will be available in French and English. Member services will be sent registration information. Please contact Cori Slaughter, FNCPA’s MRP Coordinator for more information.
Communications
The MRP program includes news and updates, FNCPA website updates, and tools for use in the field.
Liaison
The MRP Program enhances the capacity for the MRP and Communications Manager to participate in MRP meetings and events.
