The administration has confirmed that Mike Biron will no longer serve within our community. This outcome follows a long period of advocacy and underscores the importance of accountability for law enforcement. We must remain vigilant to ensure that such standards of oversight stay in place for the future.

Mike Biron was a former Officer for The Canadian portion of Akwesasne in Saint Regis, QC. He was let go and moved to another undisclosed police station elsewhere due to the communities outrage. On November 14th, 2008 he was involved in a high speed pursuit from Cornwall, ON that ended on Akwesasne Territory (Cornwall Island). His negligence in the pursuit caused an accident at the crossroads when the one being pursued struck another vehicle and killed married elderly Eileen and Edward Kassian. The driver of the van being pursued, Dany Gionet also didn't make it. The family of the Kassians filed a law suit against AMPS and the Canadian federal government for negligence resulting in death. (Mike Boron and Kenneth Chaussi's charges we're ultimately dismissed in 2010)
His negligence didn't end his police career. He continued on as an Akwesasne Mohawk Police Officer. Then another incident happened on October 26th 2011. He started to chase a car in the village of Saint Regis and continued to chase the car into the American portion of Akwesasne. (THERE is no border/customs to pass through in Saint Regis) He unlawfully pursued a car in a area he had to jurisdiction in. He STATED that he didn't pursue them once on US portion. Which was a lie. Ultimately the car being driven by Amber Aliff struck a tree at a high speed. Amber Aliff was transported to Massena Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Dakota Benedict was pronounced dead at the scene. PASSENGER Syndey Oakes was flown to Burlington VT for critical care.
That makes Five lives that have been taken while under Mike Birons PURSUITS. The people of Akwesasne who do NOT want to have this happen to anymore of our young people, please sign this petition.

Claiming the lives of elders and our youth he needs to be behind bars not behind the steering wheel of a cop car.
I am her aunt and I was robbed of her life from this horrible tragedy and he should not be an officer of the law
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE TAKEN A MINUTE OUT OF THEIR DAY TO SIGN THIS PETITION! I APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. THIS CAUSE MEANS A LOT TO ME AND MY CLOSE FAMILY AND FRIENDS. JUSTICE FOR AMBER & DAKOTA, EILEEN &EDWARD KASSIAN AND DANY GIONET WILL NEVER HAPPEN... BUT WE CAN KEEP THIS MAN OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY IF WE STICK TOGETHER. NIAWEN
This Officer's reckless disregard for the likely consequences of his actions have no place on the sovereign territories of Akwesasne.
Lost a good friend twice because of an officer not abiding by sop given in state evacc courses. You enforce law and order , your not above it.
This is awful! Praying on these angels.
as if yu said hes a good representative after he KILLED 5 people! what a shame!!!!!

I don't understand why AMPS would hire him back. On top of that, why would he want to come back to a community where he has caused so much pain.
