"I attended a meeting organised by the district to discuss the police's communication with multicultural communities in Hume," Mr Ponsot says.
In that session, he says the region's police chiefs presented their accomplishments in working with communities, but they also spoke about some of the difficulties the police face. In particular, recruiting young Arabic people to the force, he says.
After listening to the police concerns, Mr Ponsot says he presented a potential strategy as to how the police could cut through the difficulties of working with multicultural communities.
