Advancing Inclusion and Anti-Oppression Training in Policing

The overarching aim of this research project is to leverage Georgian’s expertise to expand on the limited research available on diversity training in Canadian police services by working closely with two police services in Ontario to address their needs. The goals are to identify the main issues in their communities concerning police-community relationships, develop inclusion and anti-oppression training, and assess its effectiveness over time. This three-year project is funded by a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Community Social Innovation Fund (CCSIF) grant awarded to Drs. Gittens and Deschamps.
