Metropolitan BPA

Improving the working environment of Black and minority ethnic #Police Officers & Staff. Enhancing quality of service to #London communities. Not monitored 24/7

[Metropolitan BPA @MetBPA]

Progress on race in policing remains word salad, let’s be honest: conversation alone isn’t change.
Resistance from many police SLTs blocked progress, undermining staff, officers, and the communities, policing is meant to serve. Accountability must move beyond goodwill to action!

[Independent Scrutiny & Oversight Board @PoliceISOB]

After 5 years scrutinising the Police Race Action Plan, we're publishing our final report today.

Progress has been made, but it's been uneven, fragile, and far too dependent on individual goodwill rather than structural accountability.

“We should be a whistleblowing organisation so officers can feel completely confident…to report concerns”. Police Ombudsman, Jacqui Durkin, and Chief Executive, Hugh Hume, talk about improving processes for police officers to call out unacceptable behaviour @NIAEOCttee

At the NBPA annual conference, President Ch Insp Andrew George challenged police leaders on impartiality, tackling racism and the treatment of minority officers and staff.

'Impartiality should never mean silence when challenging discrimination.'

Flogging a dead horse now @neilcgray

Senior officers whose first responsibility is to protect themselves & the organisation are NOT best placed, are NOT independent, and are NOT legally qualified

Independent appeals come AFTER lives are ruined

[Cicero @SecretCicero]

PS & @neilcgray were asked specifically about the Conduct Regs for @Sunday_Post

Not the SPB, Code of Ethics or Vetting, which are entirely separate

Clutching lads, clutching

Incidentally, the SPB, Code of Ethics & Vetting apply equally to all ranks

The Fed letter is marvellous with the only exception that a ‘pause’ is constitutionally impossible

The choice is annul or not annul

For the reasons set out, annul is the only option

Exc: Andy Burnham has reservations about Shabana Mahmood’s plans to slash the number of police forces out of concern that they are “anti-devolution” and have been drawn up by a senior officer who was criticised over the Hillsborough disaster

"Other senior police sources say it is clear the Treasury will provide no more money for law enforcement"

Who will fund the reported £2bn transition costs of the proposed force mergers?

@metpoliceuk why do you continue to protect Mr A who is still serving ? Why is he still anonymised? Have you learnt nothing from Wayne cousins???

[The Good The Bad The Ugly Podcast @TGTBTUPodcast]

Day infinity ♾️ of representing myself against the Met.

So today the Met Police dropped the allegation of breaching the anonymity of Mr A (senior officer in Charing Cross police station) who was found to have committed abuse against Mia Korell.

[Cicero @SecretCicero]

Craig Naylor @HMICS consistently misses the point on the Conduct Regs debate.
He should have taken the perspective of police officers and the public

Instead he took the position of snr officers & PSD

It’s about fairness, consistency and independence
