Anti-Racism Advisory Committee

In the summer of 2020, as part of our commitment to continuous, collaborative engagement with our diverse communities the Chief of Police invited several members of various communities within the city to join in forming an Anti-Racism Advisory Committee.  The members selected had already demonstrated an interest in improving the relationship between the police and their respective communities. This committee meets to foster the relationships built and to discuss and find solutions to combat racism.  

Committee Mandate

To collaborate with the Chief of Police to provide guidance and insight on ways of improving and strengthening relationships between the Woodstock Police Service and Indigenous and racialized communities in the City of Woodstock.

 To provide guidance to the Chief of Police on embedding strategies and processes within the Woodstock Police Service to combat racism, engage in actions towards eliminating racism and foster a culture that seeks to understand the unique identities of all races and cultures within the community.
