| Summary: | Although some authors have studied Indigenous policing, very few, if any, have examined Indigenous policing from a comprehensive and qualitative approach and from the perspective of police officers. Adopting a participative method, this study used the group analysis method with seven police officers from Indigenous police forces in Quebec to document the main policing issues and formulate possible solutions adapted to the realities of the community. The results highlight, among other things, issues related to the non-recognition of the role of police within the Indigenous and even the police community, citizen and political proximity, social and professional isolation, and the lack of organizational support, as well as the lack of accessibility of partner services to support their interventions. These challenges are juxtaposed with the important social problems in the communities that police officers encounter daily. This approach gives rise to possible solutions based on the variety of representations and also led to the development of a research project aimed at gaining a better understanding of the perception of police officers who work with First Nations, Métis, or Inuit communities. Bien que quelques auteurs se soient penchés sur la police autochtone, très peu, voire aucun, ne s’y sont intéressés dans une visée compréhensive et qualitative à partir du point de vue des policiers. Adoptant une perspective participative, cette étude vise à expérimenter la méthode d’analyse en groupe auprès de sept policiers issus de corps de police autochtones québécois pour documenter les principaux enjeux du travail en milieux autochtones et formuler des pistes de solutions adaptées aux réalités des communautés. Les résultats mettent notamment en évidence des enjeux liés à la non-reconnaissance de leur rôle au sein de la communauté autochtone et même policière, au manque de soutien organisationnel, à la proximité citoyenne et politique, à l’isolement social et professionnel, ainsi qu’à l’accessibilité lacunaire aux ... |
