Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Experimental Community Integration

Syrian refugees: But one agency decided it could not wait: the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Four Mounties were involved last month in an experimental community integration project in Jordan designed to help Syrian refugees and the police force itself, according to Huffington Post Canada. The vast majority of the 25,000 Syrian refugees now in Canada — the milestone was reached Saturday night — speak neither English nor French. In their drive to get 25,000 people here in a matter of months, the Liberals put off the detailed customary pre-departure briefings for refugees and instead waited until they landed. The unique police engagement strategy was developed to address two issues — the concerns police officers in Canada have over security screening of refugees, and an ingrained mistrust of authorities by the refugees themselves. Lina Dabit and her colleagues, speaking the same language was an immeasurable help in approaching the refugees they met in Jordan. For RCMP Acting Sgt. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
