PSNI officer and NBPAUK president Andy George calls for greater representation of ethnic minorities in policing in Northern Ireland
The president of the National Black Police Association has called for greater representation of ethnic minority backgrounds in Northern Ireland policing.He said officers from ethnic minority backgrounds make up 0.5% of the PSNI.
"The census this year brought [the population of minority ethnic groups in Northern Ireland] up to 3.4%," Mr George said. "Just think how noticeable that would be, how visible that would be and how they could then share their experiences of coming from an ethnic background in Northern Ireland to their colleagues."Having more officers from ethnic minority backgrounds would benefit the PSNI, says Andy George
"What I don't want to see as president is for that trust and confidence to erode so fast in our black and Asian communities in Northern Ireland," he said.
