Nearly 25 years after black teen Stephen Lawrence was murdered and police were heavily criticised for racism, officers say there is still 'much to do' to win the confidence of black people, but vow: 'We will.'
"What this plan is about is us saying 'ok our job, through this action and through our work, is to demonstrably show people we are not institutionally racist'."The plan will be implemented nationally later this year after inviting comments from experts and the public.
Chief constables denied the plan was a"woke" exercise."How can it be woke to be more legitimate and more effective in how we stop and search people?" asked Tyrone Joyce, a temporary deputy chief constable and the UK's highest ranking black officer.
