Montreal police chief to address racism, misconduct allegations at public meeting
['The Canadian Press']
Police announced in June that they had dismantled a 16-member patrol unit at the Montreal-Nord station over allegations of misconduct and racism.
The meeting comes after weeks of limited public information about the investigation and amid calls for answers from local residents over allegations that have renewed long-standing concerns about racism and racial profiling in the neighbourhood.

Dagher also said in the video that allegations have been transmitted to Quebec’s prosecutor and that the internal investigation remains underway.
Police say in an outline released Friday ahead of the public meeting that they had already deployed a new team in the community on July 13 and were meeting with members of the community.
