‘It’s pandering and it’s kind of insulting’: Formation of diversity committee to advise police board ignores Black community, advocates say

The Pointer Files

A committee formed after a strong push from members of Peel’s Black communities to get their voices heard by the Peel Police Services Board appears to have once again excluded them from the process. 

Formed with no consultation with the public, and consisting of only members of the current board, advocates are once again calling on the board to do better for the diverse community that suffers the most at the hands of police.
