Peel police accept initial 64 recommendations to address systemic racism. The recently released recommendations begin with a call for the acknowledgement of the reality of racial profiling and its impact on trust in police.
Using race-based data, policies tailored to eliminating racial discrimination, a system to monitor police conduct and a multi-year action plan are among dozens of recommendations in an initial plan to address systemic racism and discrimination within Peel Regional Police.
The plan’s 64 recommendations are “really an important first step in addressing the accountability needed to address racism,” said Alicia Ralph, the co-chair of ARAC, an arms-length public group established to provide advice and feedback on the plan. The work was done in tandem with the OHRC, which ensures “that the recommendations are reflective of what we see as the pressure points,” Ralph said.
The initial proposals will now be refined and go through legal processes before being accepted as the concrete plan that Peel police will be legally mandated to follow, as per its binding commitment to the OHRC, Ralph said. Community groups and the public will be invited to share their views to help finalize the binding recommendations later this year, indicated a statement from Peel police.
