Welcoming publication of the PSNI Race and Ethnicity Action Plan, Policing Board Chair Mukesh Sharma said:
“This Action Plan clearly sets out PSNI’s commitment to tackling racist hate crime in all its forms.
Delivery of the five key commitments, and associated workstreams align with our collective vision of a policing service that is victim, community and workforce focused. A policing service that is committed to engaging with the community, working to make our community safer and to building confidence in policing and the service its officers and staff provide.
There is much work to do in tackling hate crime. Its eradication requires a wider societal response in parallel with a policing one and publication of this Action Plan is an important step. The Board will monitor and oversee progress in its delivery with the Chief Constable.”
