Black and Arab people overrepresented in Laval police stops, data show, reflecting broader Quebec pattern

March 22, 2025
Arab and Black people are overrepresented in police stops in Laval, Quebec’s third-largest city, adding to mounting evidence of widespread racial profiling by law enforcement in the province, according to data obtained by The Globe and Mail.The data, which Laval police fought in court to avoid disclosing after receiving an access-to-information request, include nearly 10,000 police stops made between December, 2022, and January, 2025. Each entry lists the date and hour of a stop, along with the individual’s race.
