The publication, in December 2019, of the green paper on the police reality in Quebec set the stage for a necessary examination of several fundamental issues affecting the organization and supervision of the police function in Quebec. The Advisory Committee on Police Reality was subsequently set up to reflect on the police reality in Quebec.

A public consultation process was initiated to help the Advisory Committee on Police Reality carry out an exhaustive reflection. Initially, it received many briefs from organizations and citizens on the subject. Secondly, the Advisory Committee on Police Reality called some of these organizations to a public hearing in order to be able to discuss with them.

It is in this context that the Commissaire à la déontologie policière submitted his brief entitled Le régime de déontologie policière et ses enjeux actuels. The Commissioner also had the opportunity, on November 30, to present his point of view at a public hearing before the Advisory Committee on Police Reality.

Both in his brief and in his introductory speech, the Police Ethics Commissioner addresses the following topics, among others:

• Third party complainants;
• Processing times;
• Modernization of the sanctions regime;
• The development of the preventive approach.

You can consult the Commissioner's brief and his introductory speech.
