GURU Nanak Food Bank Delta recently hosted a day of community-centered training for new recruits of the Delta Police Department.

Four new recruits immersed themselves in a comprehensive training program designed to provide them with a deeper understanding of the community they will serve. The training began with a session on the history of Guru Nanak Food Bank and its core values.

The recruits were given insights into Sikhism and its values, an introduction to the local language, and a tour of the food bank facilities. The program also included interactive sessions, hands-on experiences, and a keynote address by Narinder Singh, Founder and President of Guru Nanak Food Bank.

Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord expressed his support for this unique partnership and congratulated the recruits on embracing a novel approach to community-oriented training. “This initiative is a shining example of collaboration between law enforcement and the community. We believe that understanding the diverse communities we serve is essential to building trust and ensuring effective policing,” he said.

Narinder Singh said: “We are honored to be part of this initiative, bridging the gap between law enforcement and the community. Through programs like these, we aim to create a more inclusive and empathetic environment.”

The food bank looks forward to continued collaboration with the Delta Police Department in creating a safer, more inclusive, and engaged community.
