Independent Office for Police Conduct’s Post

On International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we reiterate our call for ‘focused and memorable change’ to remove racial disparities in the use of police powers  including stop and search, use of force and strip searches, particularly on children. We first made this call in our recent #RaceDiscrimination report which we published together with a package of tools to improve police handling of complaints involving race discrimination.    We looked at over 300 of our investigations and reviews of complaints where race discrimination was a potential consideration to better understand, challenge and address the issue of race discrimination in policing.
