Insp Jesee Karanga says he 'couldn't be happier' to be vice president of the NBPA.
Insp Jesee Karanga was elected to the role in the NBPA, which works to promote good race relations in UK forces and across the wider community.Insp Karanga, who joined the police 14 years ago, said he "couldn't be happier to be here"."Being part of the NBPA at this level means I'll have the chance to feed into and influence conversations in national spaces such as government discussions," he said.
Insp Karanga, who is originally from Nyeri, in Kenya, has been in a variety of roles since starting at Lincolnshire Police in 2009. "A lot of people have been really shocked because they just don't think policing is a career that is available for them, and therefore not for me," he said.He added that he had also experienced "horrendous racism".
