Chief Fady Dagher of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal said the department will launch a set of measures aimed at overhauling its internal culture. The plan includes a focused investigation into the roughly one percent of officers who have been accused of misconduct, with the possibility of prosecution for those found responsible.

The announcement follows growing public scrutiny of the police service over repeated allegations of officer wrongdoing, prompting the chief to pledge a more accountable and transparent approach within the force.
