One day, Emmanuelle Boucher took the initiative to stop drivers and reward them with "good behavior" gifts (e.g., gift cards, free coffee) for safe driving, rather than focusing solely on issuing tickets for violations. This approach makes people feel great—happy, surprised, and appreciated—instead of angry, anxious, or frustrated. It is an excellent way to build positive relationships within the community. This initiative fosters a sense of connection and trust with the police, creating a foundation that can be strengthened and developed in the near future. Younger generations who witness these actions will be encouraged to engage with police officers, fostering open dialogue and collaboration.
As a bilingual police officer, she never hesitates to assist her colleagues and community members who may struggle with language barriers in French or English. She ensures that communication is clear and trustworthy, helping everyone feel comfortable in what can often be delicate situations. As a young woman, she also builds trust with female victims, making them feel heard and understood on their journey.
She is a great role model for young women who aspire to become police officers.
