“To say that Montreal is dangerous is to give up, I think it is to give up,” the mayor said, adding that the city will “deal” with the gun problem in particular.

“Project Montreal is committed to supporting various SPVM groups in combating armed violence, deploying SPVM personnel in the hot districts of Montreal, establishing intervention and community mediation committees in all metropolitan areas, and ultimately developing emergency funding.”

Valerie Blonde made the announcement of the investment, directly from her party offices in the Ville-Marie metropolis.

In order to strengthen the bond of trust between police officers and the public, Project Montreal aims to promote the commitment of police officers to their neighborhood for at least three years.

Project Montreal also promises to invest $ 15 million over four years to establish mobile mediation and community intervention groups (ÉMMIS) in all major cities of the city.

A pilot project is currently underway in the Ville-Marie metropolis to test the activities of this group of social workers who are called upon to help people in crisis rather than the police.

“We know there are significant needs in the city of Montreal, but there are also needs in the West in the Northeast,” Caroline Bourgeois said.

EMIS implementation details will be determined following the pilot project. However, Valerie Plant said the Society de Transport de Montreal (SDM) or even a dealer facing a social problem can call the EMIS rather than the police.

Establishing a $ 15 million emergency fund is included in Project Montreal’s public safety plan to “respond quickly to any emergency.”

Valerie Plant said she was pleased with the announcement of “Carcajo Group 2.0” by Quebec’s Minister of Public Security Genevieve Gilbold on Friday. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat Lukashenko’s government.
