To address various issues associated with Indigenous Peoples and the justice system, First Nations Policing Programs were introduced. Extensive research has been conducted evaluating Canada's Indigenous policing practices; however, there are gaps in the literature pertaining to best practices and what can be improved.

Through a descriptive analysis of purposively selected literature, this research suggests that Indigenous policing in Canada can be enhanced by redefining its services, implementing community patrols similar to what is employed in Australian Indigenous communities, and securing adequate funding.
