520 |a Amidst the current wave of social activism sparked by the ongoing crisis in Israel-Palestine, universities across the United States, Canada and Australia are increasingly turning to law enforcement to address social unrest on their campuses. This has been met with vocal support from local politicians in the United States, some of whom advocate for the deployment of the National Guard. However, such reliance on state power comes at a time when law enforcement agencies and universities are grappling with significant challenges in recruiting new cadets and students, particularly from racialised and/or otherwise marginalised communities. This conceptual article delves into the intricate paradox facing both institutions today. While there is a pressing need for a police force that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves, much of police action, often involving the use of force, is directed at these very communities as they voice their grievances against perceived social injustices. Drawing on insights from anticolonial literature, historical and contemporary analyses of police interactions, this article elucidates how policing has historically served to uphold existing power structures and how, in certain cases, the continued alignment of police forces with elite interests exacerbates the difficulty of diversifying the force.
