The First Nations Police (FNP) is a group of police forces in Ontario, Canada. These police agencies are made up of Indigenous people. They work to keep communities safe on First Nations reserves across Ontario.

Police officers in these forces are called First Nations Constables. The Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police officially appoints them. This means they have the same powers as other police officers in Ontario. They use these powers to do their job of protecting and serving their communities.
