The author gives an account of the fifteen years he spent in the Montreal police
department as a community relations adviser. In this role, he was asked to examine why
his organisation was uneasy about ethnic diversity and unwilling to embrace it. He was
also asked, where appropriate, to identify the causes of the problem and make proposals
regarding personnel management, recruitment strategies and staff in-service training for
police officers in intercultural relations, conflict management and conflict resolution. The
article essentially contemplates the progress and setbacks of reform aimed at introducing
community policing, which is both preventative and attentive to the specific ethnocultural characteristics of the urban area in which the police have to maintain order. The
author concludes that it is impossible to reform the police without giving high priority to
diversity management and interethnic relations. |
