Police: Police Services

police: In order to do so effectively, it must act in the best interest of all Hamiltonians, not only those who are Caucasian, according to Hamilton Spectator. As the ethnic and racial makeup of our community diversifies, it is in the best interest of all administrations to recruit visible minorities such that its members are representative of the population they serve. The Police Services Act defines the primary role of the board as the establishment, after consultation with the chief, of overall objectives and priorities for the provision of police services. This recruitment must be actively supported by organizations such as Hamilton Police Services and other boards. It is only by rectifying these practices that Hamilton can finally move toward becoming the vibrant and progressive community it is capable of being. By maintaining the status quo of an all-white Police Services Board, we turn a blind-eye to carding and other forms of racial profiling that continue to occur. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
