CANADIAN POLICING
IN THE 21ST CENTURY
A Frontline Offcer
on Challenges and Changes
By Robert Bob Chrismas
Now i n Paperback!
A veteran police ofcer provides insights
into decades of unprecedented change.
How can police remain efective and vital in an era of unprece-
dented technological advances, access to information, and the
global transformation of crime? Written by a long-serving
ofcer, Canadian Policing in the 21st Century ofers a rare look at
street-level police work and the hidden culture behind the badge.
Robert Chrismas shares experiences from his years of service to highlight areas where police can more efectively
enforce laws and improve relations with the communities they serve. He proposes tactics for addressing widespread
social issues such as gang and domestic violence and strategies for cooperating in international networks tackling
human trafcking, internet-based child exploitation, organized crime, and terrorism. Chrismas stresses how changing
demographics related to age, gender and racial diversity, and increased dangers and demands, require intensified
training and higher education in policing. He highlights the need for more effective collaborative relationships
between police and local, provincial, and federal governments, non-government agencies, and their communities.
While the principles and goals of policing remain largely unchanged, police challenges, tools, and strategies have
evolved dramatically. Chrismas's vantage point as an officer and a scholar provides an illuminating account of the
Canadian justice system, and road-maps to future success.
Canadian Policing in the 21st Century conveys the focused refections of an experienced Canadian police ofcer, an
underrepresented perspective that will interest both students and scholars in criminology, and informed general readers.
Lisa Dufraimont, Faculty of Law, Queens University
What comes shining through this work is a recognition that police on the street today have more respect for human
rights than they did a generation ago, and improved technologies that can both limit harms imposed upon law breakers
and increase the possibilities for the detection of crime. Perhaps most important of all, police work, as imagined and
described by Robert Chrismas, is honourable public service stressful, frustrating and occasionally dangerous but
wholly deserving of our admiration and support. Neil Boyd, Literary Review of Canada
Robert Chrismas is a serving police ofcer in Winnipeg with twenty-eight years of law enforcement experience. He is also a doc-
toral student in Peace and Confict Studies at the University of Manitoba.
