The Quebec government is supporting a local Montreal resource that aims to reduce the cases of radicalized individuals in the city. 

In a report by CTV News, the province is financially backing the Centre for the Prevention of Radicalization Leading to Violence with a contribution of 1 million dollars.  

In operation since Spring, the centre's features include a behaviour barometer chart, a phone hotline if people feel unsafe, and direct links to local forces such as the provincial police and the RCMP. 

Mayor Denis Coderre calls this new centre a safe way to remain vigilant without necessarily going through the the police.
