Recommendation 66

66 Paragraph: 173

Diverse police workforce requires fair processes and communication beyond mere representation.

Conclusion
A police service that fails to attract, retain and progress diverse officers will be unable to demonstrate that it can meet the needs of diverse communities. While 68 Policing priorities a representative workforce is crucial, we cannot rely on numerical representation alone to drive far-reaching cultural change. Instead, officers, staff and communities need to see evidence of processes, actions and outcomes that are fair, inclusive, and enhanced by meaningful two-way communication.
