The addictions crisis is touching every corner of Manitoba, seeping into remote, Isolated communities.

In some northern parts of the province, it’s leading to crime and violence spiraling out of control. And in those remote areas, law enforcement is stretched thin, making communities more vulnerable.

“We’re fighting a war,” Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) chief of law enforcement Carol Kobliski told Global News.

Kobliski runs a team of 17 First Nations Safety Officers trying to stop drugs and alcohol from being smuggled into the community.

Global’s Marney Blunt travelled to Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation and spoke with Kobliski about her commitment to protect her community at all costs.
