City’s first Asian cop dies
The city’s first Asian police officer has died. Quoc Tuan Trinh joined the force in 1988. The item notes that only 8.7% of city police are from visible minorities now. In 2021, 27.2% of Montreal residents were from visible minorities.

The Gazette seems to be confusing census data for the whole metropolitan area with data from Montreal Island (the only place served by the SPVM). The island is 37.6% visible minority which makes the SPVM’s lack of representation even worse.
