Changes are in store for a remote island near Attawapiskat. 12 Nishnawbe Aski Police officers were recently appointed as special RCMP Constables. Sgt. Jackie George says it's because it was getting hard to provide service to a nearby island. The move means NAPS can provide service to the island which falls under RCMP jurisdiction. In the past any service calls to the island had to be followed up by RCMP in Nunavut.
