A NEW initiative to build community relations between police and ethnic minority communities has begun in Wiltshire. Officers held the first in a series of community conversations as part of the force’s drive to improve diversity and inclusion. Two online meetings held earlier this week, called The Big Debate, saw 30 members of the public from minorities across the county giving their views on policing and how the force can make improvements for the future. The sessions were hosted by an independent facilitator, supported by Chief Constable Kier Pritchard, Deputy Chief Constable Paul Mills and Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jerry Herbert.

The first in a series of community conversations organised by Wiltshire Police was held as part of the Force’s drive to improve diversity and inclusion. Two online meetings held earlier this week, called The Big Debate, saw 30 members of the public from ethnic minorities across the county giving their candid views on policing and how the Force can make tangible improvements for the future. The sessions were hosted by an independent facilitator, supported by Chief Constable Kier Pritchard, Deputy Chief Constable Paul Mills and Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jerry Herbert.
