The SPVQ wishes to step up efforts to maintain and improve its bonds of trust with the population.
The Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ) will join forces with a team of researchers from Laval University to improve its “cultural skills” and look into “possible very unconscious.”
To support it, the SPVQ has chosen the Research Chair on Integration and Management of Diversity in Employment (CRIDE) directed by Professor Kamel Béji.
This approach is part of the SPVQ’s new plan to improve its practices in terms of inclusion and representativeness in particular. This plan was unveiled Thursday in Quebec City in the presence of the consultant in diversity, equity and inclusion in Quebec City, Irena Harris.
The service, which still has no black police, had already launched an action plan last May. But the events of the last few weeks have led him to pick up the pace. “It was in the plans to do it but we will do it more quickly”, explained the head of the SPVQ, Denis Turcotte.
