Montreal police chief to meet city officials behind closed doors over racism concerns
Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher will meet privately with city officials about racism allegations involving officers in the Montreal-Nord borough.
The police force removed 16 officers from patrol duties, with two suspended and under criminal investigation for racist and discriminatory behaviour.
Anne-Marie Boisvert was appointed as an independent observer to oversee investigations into the racism allegations.
Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada has called for a public inquiry, while Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette is open to one after the investigation is complete.
