New data shows Disproportionate Police Stops Affecting Black and Arab People in Montreal

A new report highlights that Black and Arab individuals in Montreal are subject to police stops at disproportionately high rates. This data, released in June 2026, sheds light on systemic disparities within law enforcement practices in the city. The findings emphasize the urgent need for reform and accountability in policing to address racial profiling. Disproportionate stops contribute to ongoing tensions and undermine trust between these communities and law enforcement. Discussions are underway among officials and community leaders to implement measures that ensure fair policing and reduce bias.
