What does the future of policing in Canada look like? In this inspiring conversation, Randall Arsenault sits down with Dave - former Chief of Winnipeg Police, longtime Edmonton officer, and President of the Coalition for Canadian Policing Reform ‪to talk about how Canadian policing can evolve for the better.With over 40 years of experience in law enforcement and police leadership, Dave shares powerful insights into how we can move toward a more modern, consistent, people-focused training model. Instead of dwelling on what may be broken, this discussion shines a light on what’s possible: policing that emphasizes emotional intelligence, cultural understanding, empathy, and meaningful connections with diverse communities, including Indigenous peoples.Dave shares the vision for a National Centre of Policing Excellence, where officers could receive evidence-based, standardized education - the kind that prepares them not just for enforcement, but for prevention, problem-solving, and building trust. Imagine future officers equipped with bias awareness, mental health training, community policing strategies, and gender-based violence response skills before being hired - education on par with other respected professions like teachers, nurses, and doctors.You’ll hear real stories from the front lines where empathy changed the outcome of investigations, and why community-driven change is the key to creating safer, healthier, more resilient neighborhoods. Instead of top-down mandates, this conversation is about empowering officers and communities alike to work together for lasting change.If you care about the future of Canadian policing, police accountability, mental health in policing, or building stronger community relationships, this is a must-watch. It’s a hopeful, solution-focused discussion on how we can shift from a model of “law enforcement” to one of service, duty of care, and public trust.Learn more and get involved at www.c-cpr.com Check out their YouTube channel - ‪@CoalitionCPR‬ Join the growing movement toward excellence in policing across Canada - from the RCMP Depot to Ontario Police College and beyond.#CanadianPolicing #PoliceReform #FutureOfPolicing #PoliceTraining #CommunityPolicing #BuildingTrust #ModernPolicing #PoliceLeadership #CanadaOffScript #CanadianPodcast
