Longueuil’s chief of police, Fady Dagher, who graduated from the McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA in 2012, is known for developing the first policy in Canada to fight racial and social profiling. Fady, who has been a guest lecturer at the EMBA every year since his graduation, is also the first Quebec police chief from an immigrant background and he is the initiator of Projet Immersion, an integration course for police officers.
After the shock and consternation following the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died in a violent police intervention in Minneapolis at the end of May, Fady spoke to the media on various subjects, not only relating to this horrible event, but also on the issues it raises.
