Race-based dataWhen RCMP officers use force, how often is it with racialized people? What the manifesto calls for: The Black parliamentarians called for the federal government to ensure police collect race-based data on their interactions with the public. CRCC spokesperson Kate McDerby told the Star the commission expects to submit its report on the practice to the RCMP this fall. What the RCMP says: Duval said RCMP street checks “must not be random” and must conform with the agency’s principles for policing based on equality and non-discrimination. “The RCMP does not target any individual or group based on their racial, ethnic or religious background,” she said.
