Story summary

On November 2, Montreal police Chief Fady Dagher announced the administrative dismissal of seven officers from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) due to allegations of discriminatory and racist behavior. The dismissals involve two officers from Station 21 and five from Station 39. This decision follows a series of scandals involving alleged racism and criminal misconduct by some officers, including derogatory acts toward racialized citizens. Chief Dagher described the move as "historic," stating it had never been done in Montreal before. The police union plans to contest these dismissals, citing legal issues with how the firings were handled. Activists are cautiously optimistic but call for further action to address systemic issues within the force.
