Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Unit is comprised of both sworn and civilian members who are committed to ensuring that the Niagara Regional Police Service is providing education and tools to both our members and the general public on the importance of promoting inclusivity within the police service and the Niagara Region.
This is accomplished through voluntary, as well as mandatory internal educational opportunities for our members, community outreach and events, as well as crime prevention and community safety initiatives throughout the Niagara Region.
