Waterloo regional police are holding a mini-conference on Race and Identity Based Data Collection in Kitchener Wednesday night. It’s the first of many in-person events that the community can get involved to help shape future direction.
Black and Middle Eastern residents of Ottawa were over-represented in police use of force incidents over the general population, according to a new data by the Ottawa Police Service.
Hamilton police hope to refine use of force data collection in an effort to clarify race and identity-related categories to improve overall interactions in the community.
