## Resource

Montreal police are under fire for alleged racist conduct, including targeting Black and Arab residents, making racist remarks, and collecting hair from detained men as trophies — leading to suspensions and reassignments. The mayor admits trust is shattered, calling the behavior unacceptable and pledging institutional change, while urging calm and emphasizing that officers who came forward are key to reform. Past studies and a 2024 court ruling confirm systemic racial profiling. With body cameras now seen as essential — and $40 million already allocated — the mayor hopes this crisis accelerates progress, but rebuilding community trust will require more than promises.
