uin	136621
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2021 answer text <p>Racism, in any form, is abhorrent and has no place in our society.</p><p>The police's ability to fulfil their duties is dependent on their ability to secure and maintain public confidence and public support for their actions, as part of the model of policing by consent.</p><p>Police forces which reflect the communities they serve are crucial to maintaining public trust, in a modern, diverse society. The police have worked hard to improve equality and diversity - the workforce is now more diverse than it ever has been, but there is no time for complacency. The Government, with senior police leaders, has stressed the need to increase diversity as part of the drive to recruit 20,000 officers. The Government will continue to work with the service to ensure that the right strategies are in place to recruit and retain officers, including those of a BAME background, as well ensuring that position action measures are being used.</p><p>The Government has put in place a number of measures to ensure that policing is subject to appropriate levels of transparency and accountability - including regular inspection on the way forces engage with communities, frequent publication of data on use of police powers and strengthening the police complaints and discipline systems.</p><p>Accountability is crucial to public confidence in the police. The Government overhauled the police complaints and discipline systems in February 2020, which included greater powers for the police &quot;watchdog&quot;, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) to investigate allegations against the police of its own initiative and without a referral from the police. All allegations of behaviour by the police which is aggravated by discrimination must, by law, be referred to the IOPC under its mandatory referral criteria.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/01/2021 16:29:10 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
