McFee said like nurses and paramedics, police officers work in a high-stress environment and are prone to burnout. In a year-end interview with CBC News, Mayor Amarjeet Sohi said EPS was allocated its share of resources for capital infrastructure. He said EPS is waiting to see what's in the forthcoming report on the Ottawa People's Commission on the convoy protests and will continue to evaluate its approach. When asked if EPS would change its approach to convoy protests based on lessons learned from the convoy protests, McFee said the service is "still breaking that down." McFee said EPS is paying attention and "trying to get the resources to keep people healthy." He said a psychologist brought in by the Edmonton Police Service about a year into the COVID-19 pandemic advised EPS to pay attention to officers' mental health.

Acteurs de changement | La sociologue qui transforme la police (La Presse)

Lorsque Fady Dagher débarque à la police de Longueuil en 2017, il recrute trois employés du Centre de prévention de la radicalisation menant à la violence à ...

« Tu ne peux pas avoir une institution avec un rôle aussi important dans la société qui reste ancrée dans des réalités du passé, croit la sociologue. L’idée étant que les policiers travaillent avec les partenaires du milieu pour mieux intervenir avant la crise, avant l’appel au 911. Des policiers ont témoigné devant leurs collègues que l’expérience les avait transformés. Le programme de développement professionnel baptisé Immersion a été répété deux autres fois depuis. « Je voyais la profondeur de la blessure », décrit la sociologue. C’est ici que ses études en anthropologie influencent la suite des choses. Dans certains groupes communautaires où la méfiance envers la police est grande, Mme Coman et ses deux collègues répètent : « On comprend vos critiques. « Disons que j’ai toujours été critique de la police », dit l’intellectuelle qui possède deux maîtrises sur les questions d’ethnicité et de nationalisme de droite. Si tu parles seulement aux porte-parole, tu perds toutes les nuances qui existent dans ces communautés, poursuit-elle. « Oublie ça », répond-elle à un premier ami qui lui envoie l’offre d’emploi. » Mais dans l’ombre de ce chef hors norme se cache une sociologue-anthropologue, Gabriela Coman.

Calgary police Chief Neufeld looks back at 2022 (Globalnews.ca)

Calgary Police Chief Mark Neufeld looks back at a busy 2022 in policing, dealing with rising gun violence and transit safety concerns.

I think it’s going to be important that they have the ability to move those forward within a reasonable period of time.” “At the end of the day, it wasn’t really about whether or not that patch needed to be on the Calgary police uniform. Neufeld said gun violence is an ongoing concern and a top priority for CPS heading into the new year. “Then there was also a portion of the community that didn’t feel comfortable with it,” Neufeld said. I think those people want to know as well that we ‘get it’ in 2022 and that we’re evolving in many ways around EDI (equity, diversity and inclusion).” Neufeld says the acknowledgement came about after ongoing conversations with the CPS diversity relations officers and the LGBTQ2S+ community. That raid was lawful at the time. “I would like to see that more deeply integrated and be ongoing work throughout the year. Support workers will respond to non-emergency calls that come through Calgary 911 and the Distress Centre (211). “Police would become the de facto response, especially to calls involving mental health and addiction after business hours. This year, only 25 per cent of the shootings in the city can be directly-linked to organized crime. Neufeld said the city has not seen this level of violence since 2015, but, back then, the crimes could mostly be attributed to open gang violence.
