Assessment
“Trust and confidence. Two words we hear at present in the context of policing.
Both are intrinsic to our mission in improving public trust and confidence by
ensuring the police are accountable for their actions and equally importantly, that lessons are learned. Discrimination was brought to the forefront of the public discourse by the Black Lives Matter movement. More recently, the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) officer has sparked further concerns about misogyny within policing and violence against women and girls”.
