Alain Babineau, a former RCMP officer and prominent police-reform advocate, has joined Montreal's new anti-racism bureau, where he will lead efforts to address racial and social profiling.
Babineau, spent the past four years working with the Centre for Research Action on Race Relations, a civil-rights group that helps victims of racial profiling.
He spoke often at CRARR news conferences, drawing on his 25-year career as an RCMP officer to call for more accountability from police in Quebec. He also holds a law degree from McGill University.
