Diversity
Durham Police Authority is fully committed to valuing Equality and diversity in the development of policing for the communities of County Durham and Darlington.
A fair, effective, visible policing service relies upon individuals and communities having confidence in the police and the belief that the individual needs of all sections of the community will be fully considered.
The Force Equality and Diversity Programme Board, chaired by the Chief Constable, includes members of the police authority together with the Racial Equality Council, and representatives from Force staff associations and support groups.
Work being progressed during 2007/08 includes:
- Positive action initiatives to improve recruitment, retention and development of officers and staff from under represented groups i.e. race, gender, disability etc.
- Improved interaction with diverse communities in all aspects of recruitment and training.
- Continued enhancement of our internal support networks for minority groups.
