MONTREAL Montreal community groups are supporting a motion calling on the city to beef up the police department s hate crimes unit. A coalition of organizations that represent religious and racialized minorities told reporters on Tuesday incidents of hate crimes have risen in the city since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are throwing their support behind city councillor Marvin Rotrand, who says he intends to present the non-partisan motion which seeks more resources for the hate crimes unit at council next week. The Montreal police have had a dedicated hate crimes unit since 2016, but it has just four members, including two detectives. The unit doesn t have an online presence or a way the public can contact its members directly.
