Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for Law Enforcement

The law enforcement and investigations community plays an important role within a multicultural Canada. In this seminar-style course, learners will recognize the paradox that exists in Canadian society; while there is an established commitment to diversity and inclusion, challenges around multiculturalism and issues of oppression do exist. Through respectful dialogue and introspection, students will explore several advanced topics related to diversity in Canada such as race, ethnicity, religion and gender. Learners will have the opportunity to consider diverse perspectives and ways of thinking, and to recognize some of the lived experiences of diversity in Canada. As the law enforcement professionals of tomorrow, learners will reflect on how to apply the insights gained throughout the course to a career in serving diverse communities.
