Durham police try to reflect changing face of community

This is the fourth in a series of stories ex- ploring the ever evolving and expanding multicultural makeup of Durham Region.

By David Stell News Editor URHAM – Steve Rhoden’s ethnicity doesn’t define him as a police officer. DBut, when he sees a visible minority walk into 19 Division, and they look around and then focus on him, it’s a reminder of the importance of a diverse police service. “You’ll see eyes go right to you,” he said. That recognition, the connection when someone seeks out another visible minority, is one he has come to understand in a simple, but powerful way. Working in a culturally diverse community like the one 19 Division serves in Ajax and Pickering, Const. Rhoden, who is black, provides policing among many different ethnic backgrounds. He sees his own ethnicity as an aid. “As far as comfort level goes, it can be a little higher,” he said. “People feel comfortable with what they can relate to. (They sometimes) feel more like opening up.” For those people who do feel more comfortable with him, he said he doesn’t feel a burden from any possible expectations Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo they may have, but he does have to be Durham Regional Police constables, from left, Steve Rhoden, Robin Roychoudhury, and Bob Annan agree having a force that is reflective of our di- aware of it. verse population is more than just hiring visible minorities.
