Résumé anglais Life with the Boys in Blue : a Professional Experience in the Montreal Police. The author gives an account of the fifteen years he spent in the Montreal police department as a community relations adviser. In this role, he was asked to examine why his organisation was uneasy about ethnic diversity and unwilling to embrace it. He was also asked, where appropriate, to identify the causes of the problem and make proposals regarding personnel management, recruitment strategies and staff in-service training for police officers in intercultural relations, conflict management and conflict resolution. The article essentially contemplates the progress and setbacks of reform aimed at introducing community policing, which is both preventative and attentive to the specific ethnocultural characteristics of the urban area in which the police have to maintain order. The author concludes that it is impossible to reform the police without giving high priority to diversity management and interethnic relations.
