@WeCops#wecops How could Policing explore all skill sets? Existing - regulars, SLT, Specials. External - DE routes, Grads...Could teams in other professions be used to support recruitment recommendations?
@WeCops#wecops Those responsible for recruitment and talent growth need to be more aware of the unconscious bias that exists. There needs to be greater focus in the skills hoped to gleam, than just participating as a “trail”.
@DEEDDIE3@WeCops This is good to hear 👍🏽 Upon reading the reviews of DE in previous years, you’re right. There were very few POC selected or included in the offer statistics? Unsure of the cause? Educational background?
@WeCops There is the opportunity to improve diversity, but within my cohort at assessment there was only one candidate from a diverse background. Not sure what actually limits the number of applicants from external business that represent more diverse backgrounds?
@WeCops The skill set that external leaders could bring to Policing is advantageous. Working within a force I see restricted methods of operating and invocation is superseded in comparison to external businesses. There is still an untapped opportunity improving thinking and diversity
@BigChiefExeter Witnessed this and handled like a legend, good on you. Shame a few spoilt individuals try and ruin it for the majority. Keep up the good work 👏👏
