1. Montreal police force official website.

This website is the in my opinion one of the best ones to understand the importance of the police and to, like I will talk about later on, cooperate with the police. To resume this enormous website that as a lot of options to discover, you can basically access information in the Montreal police department data base, see different press releases to understand what’s going on in our Metropole, discover the SPVM in all its beauty to understand more how it works and a lot more. Also, for the future police officers, you can access the different opportunities to make a career in this city. Even if I couldn’t describe how much you can access with this website, I think this is a useful tool as a citizen and a future police officer even if you don’t live in Montreal, it really shows the principles that are in effect in all of our local police guidelines and it helps to be even more educated on this huge part of our society.

2. Community relations services toolkit for policing.

This research that was made by an organisation from the United States presents the importance of building a trustworthy relationship with our local police and the ways to obtain this trust. In fact, lately we’ve been seeing a lot of stories about the use of force from police officers and manifestation to contest this use of violence, but the main solution is not confrontation but cooperation between both sides to find strategies to move forward in a safe environment. This research reminds us about the fact that us police officers must reflect the community’s values and represent correctly the law but it’s also the citizen’s job to communicate with them and take steps to help their local police. I think this research is very interesting to know as a police student the importance of our role to represent our community but also for the citizen to find out how to help to make our community better. In summary, this website is very useful for me and other to know how to act with citizens to make any intervention way easier.

3. What is a police officer and what does he do.

Educaloi presents a lot of articles about all the law-oriented jobs and their utilities with simpler word to understand in depth their meaning. This article presents a large portrait of the police officer’s job and their duty. In fact, the website presents the description of the job with the motto “To serve and protect” but it also presents the skills needed to fit for the job and a usual day-of-work that is in fact never usual and always changing with the interventions. This website is very useful people that think about studying in this program because it helps, like it helped me, know if you are a fit for this difficult job and learn a lot more about the training that is about to take place before becoming a formal police officer.
