The new system is part of the police’s five-year anti-racism plan Dagher announced today.
As well, Dagher says the force has new guidelines for officers that he says will reduce instances of racial profiling, but he didn’t give details.
Dagher says he wants to eliminate instances of discrimination involving officers by 2030.
He also plans to organize assemblies where officers and members of the public can talk and get to know each other better.
