Recommendation 69

69 Paragraph: 516

Individual bias and prejudice persist in policing, requiring robust challenge and disciplinary action.

Conclusion
Individual bias and prejudice have no place in policing. Where they persist they must be strongly challenged, including through robust disciplinary action and dismissals for unacceptable racist behaviour. Individual forces must be vigilant and proactive in shaping their organisational culture, with training and management systems in place to address the conscious and unconscious biases and prejudices of individual officers.
