Law Enforcement: Police Officer

law enforcement: Const, according to Metro News. Garry Woods said he hopes the book will also help newcomers develop a new idea of what law enforcement does especially if they didn't have a good relationship with police in their country of origin. The CPS diversity resource team wrote a Newcomer's Guide and illustrated an accompanying children's colouring book to cover things like how to identify a police officer, what their rights are when dealing with police and how to reach out should they need help. Many other countries around the world, their relationship between the communities and the police is not healthy. A lot of people who come here have had negative experiences with police, authority or uniforms and they become scared because it reminds them of negative experiences. Very often the police are not seen as a resource, they don't help people and there is a lot of corruption, said Woods. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
