TBPS and Community: Renewing trust - Saturday, Oct. 19
Academics and reporters have written extensively about broken relationships between police and racialized communities. Recently, national media and oversight committees have focused on broken trust between the Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) and Indigenous peoples.
Yet, little has been written on how police services restore broken trust with communities. This talk focuses on an ongoing organizational change initiative to restore trust between the TBPS and Indigenous communities in Thunder Bay.
Join Lakehead University's Dr. Leisa Desmoulins, assistant professor in Education and a consultant for the Thunder Bay Police Service, at the Waverley Library on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 2 pm.
