Director’s Resource Committee

In 2002, the SIU established the Director’s Resource Committee (DRC) in order to give voice to Ontario’s communities about the work of the Unit. Through the DRC, the SIU Director gains input and feedback on various matters of concern to the SIU and is apprised of trends and issues as experienced by community members. 

The DRC is comprised of representatives of various ethnic and racial groups.  In addition to the SIU Director being able to provide updates on the work of the SIU throughout the year, the meetings have been an opportunity to raise discussion issues identified by the members’ communities regarding the work of the SIU and/or the police.
