Devon Clunis: "ONE: A Story of Hope in Our Time"


Listen Later

Stuart Murray sits down with Devon Clunis, the first Black Chief of Police in Canadian history, to discuss his new autobiography "ONE: A Story of Hope in Our Time."

Devon shares his journey from a small Jamaican village without running water to becoming a transformative leader in the Winnipeg Police Service. More than just a memoir, Devon's book serves as a catalyst for meaningful conversations about unity in diversity during increasingly divided times.

We're talking:

  • Why Devon felt compelled to write this book now and its timely message
  • How his personal experiences shaped his vision for community policing
  • The concerning finding that among 16,000 Canadians surveyed, only 6 people expressed satisfaction with the current state of the world
  • Devon's powerful encounters with mentors who changed his life trajectory
  • A surprising full-circle moment connecting Devon's family history to Winnipeg
  • How faith and resilience guided him through his most challenging experiences as an officer


Devon offers a refreshing perspective on building community in an age of isolation, emphasizing that "diversity alone is not the solution - we need to be unified in that diversity."
