Canadian Police Work, 6th Edition provides an updated examination of contemporary issues in policing. Students are guided through important topics like police ethics and accountability, recruitment and training, use of force, the legal framework of police work, police and communities, and the history and evolution of police work in Canada. Robustly researched and accessible, this text includes a myriad of examples from the field, covering nuanced aspects of policing that invite critical thinking in students. The first chapter sets the tone for the book by introducing key themes that appear throughout the text: the moral and ethical dimensions of police work, police accountability, police leadership, police interactions with vulnerable and at-risk persons, the mental health of police officers, and the role of technology. The 6th edition adds themes of intersectionality, the lived experience of policing in marginalized communities, and the differences between rural, urban, suburban, and remote policing.
