Decision of PCC: Assured
Meeting date: 06/11//2024
Rationale:
In receiving information on the Police Race Action Plan (PRAP), the PCC was looking to:
- Examine the Force’s approach to delivering the PRAP and HMICFRS’s recommendations; and
- Seek assurance that the Force is responding effectively to race-based inequalities and disparities, which negatively affect community confidence.
Questions:
- How is the Force monitoring local progress against the delivery of recommendations detailed in the PRAP? How does the Force ensure timely implementation of these recommendations?
- In supporting the commitments of the PRAP, what Force-level local activities have been undertaken to:
- Create an anti-racist culture, values and behaviours;
- Address workforce disparities;
- Tackle racial disparities;
- Improve the engagement of Black communities; and
- Improve support to black victims of crime.
- In terms of the report published by the HMICFRS entitled ‘An inspection of race disparity in police criminal justice decision-making’, what information and data can the Force provide to evidence that recommendations 6,8,10 and 11 have been implemented?
Meeting Outcome:
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) was assured by the evidence submitted by the Force.
