Matthew Barber, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, says it is "critical" there is no discrimination in policing
Matthew Barber, Thames Valley's Police and Crime Commissioner , said a review into the force's processes, policies and approach will ensure it cannot happen again. Det Insp Phillip Turner-Robson, Insp Graham Horton and Kirsteen Bishop, a custody inspector, were blocked from applying for the role, the hearing was told.
A judge concluded the three white officers were directly discriminated by reason of the protected characteristic of race.Calling for a review, Mr Barber said: "I recognise Thames Valley Police’s commitment to building a workforce that represents the whole community, but it is apparent from the judgement that the force was wrong on this occasion in that the processes it followed were not fair, transparent, or competitive.
