Nigel was responsible for training officers in the area of diversity and cultural competency and also the supervision of the investigation of hate crimes. Nigel began his career at the MCC soon after his arrival in Canada and was involved in the delivery of training to the community of Windsor and Essex County. He developed strong community partnerships with many agencies. Nigel spent four years at the MCC before he left to become the Executive Director of Victim Services. There, Nigel continued with promoting diversity and cultural competency and was successful in obtaining a grant to recruit volunteers from the newcomer population so that the organization could better serve our diverse community. He continued to partner with the MCC on initiatives, and volunteered for the organization, remaining part of the MCC family In 2010 Nigel returned temporarily to policing, this time as the officer in charge of community services in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). In this role Nigel was responsible for forging better relations between the various communities and the police and for training and mentoring local officers. Nigel s experience in the non-profit sector gave him an added advantage of seeing things from the other side. Nigel also co-authored an educational resource for the TCI school system based on being a good citizen. This is now being used as part of the national curriculum in the country. Nigel recently returned to the MCC as the Community Diversity Educator where he is looking to share his experience across sectors. His passion and practical approach to training will ensure that participants leave with skills that can be used on a day to day basis in the work environment and in daily life. 2 Page 2012
