QUEBEC — The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is calling on the public for help in detecting people who are becoming radicalized.
Association president Clive Weighill says police aren't the only people concerned about preventing radicalization and extremism — particularly of the religious kind — in cities across the country.
Weighill made the comments today in Quebec City on the first of three days of meetings between the country's police forces on ways to fight radicalization.
Police say they have to work with school boards in order to better communicate with young people who might be tempted to join extremist groups.
Association vice-president Mario Harel said officers need to become closer with leaders of religious communities in order to prevent more young people from becoming radicalized.
