The Greater Sudbury Police Service takes great pride in the diversity of its members both sworn and civilian. Our members consist of men and women with roots from various parts of the world including Europe, the Caribbean, the Middle East, South East Asia and of course Canada’s First Nations People. As an organization we speak over a dozen different languages.
When we say Our Community-Our Commitment we mean it. We are as diverse as the community we serve.
Aboriginal Relations
The Greater Sudbury Police Service sits as a member on the Aboriginal Community Police Advisory Committee. This group works in partnership with the Service to assist and advise on the delivery of service that is sensitive to the needs, safety, security, and rights of the Aboriginal Community.
Since January 2000 The Greater Sudbury Police Service has created a full time Aboriginal Liaison unit. Sudbury is one of only three municipal police Services in the Province of Ontario to have such a unit.
Multicultural Relations
In 1989 the Advisory Committee to the Sudbury Regional Police Services Board on Racial and Multicultural Relations was formed, (Now the Greater Sudbury Police Services Board). The mandate of the committee is to advise the Board on ways of enhancing relations between ethno/racial minorities and police. The mandate includes assessing the implementation of employment equity, advising and assisting in the development and training of all Service members, liaising between police and the community on racism and discrimination, and also responding to issues identified by the Advisory Committee.
