MACP-2 Response Historic AI-assessed

Include performance indicators for monitoring Ministerial Priority on racist incidents

Recommendation

The process of implementing, monitoring and assessing the Ministerial Priority should include Performance Indicators in relation to: i. the existence and application of strategies for the prevention, recording, investigation and prosecution of racist incidents; ii. measures to encourage reporting of racist incidents; iii. the number of recorded racist incidents and related detection levels; iv. the degree of multi-agency co-operation and information exchange; v. achieving equal satisfaction levels across all ethnic groups in public satisfaction surveys; vi. the adequacy of provision and training of family and witness/victim liaison officers; vii. the nature, extent and achievement of racism awareness training; viii. the policy directives governing stop and search procedures and their outcomes; ix. levels of recruitment, retention and progression of minority ethnic recruits; and x. levels of complaint of racist behaviour or attitude and their outcomes. The overall aim being the elimination of racist prejudice and disadvantage and the demonstration of fairness in all aspects of policing.
