In efforts to enhance EDI principles in the community, Raj also provides critical training to other law enforcement officers across North America, educating them on strategies to combat organized crime groups targeting newcomers and international students to Canada. Raj is also a positive role model in many communities, dedicating his personal time to deliver important prevention focused messaging to youth, families, students, educators, and other law enforcement members regarding the dangers of organized crime groups and gang recruitment.
